Configuring BFD for OSPFv2

Configuring BFD for OSPFv2 on a virtual interface by using IPv4 addressing

To configure BFD for OSPFv2 neighbors on a virtual interface (VIF), you must first configure the OSPF and VIF for the two neighbors.

Consider a scenario in which you have two systems, R1 and R2. R1 and R2 share an OSPFv2 session. R1 and R2 are on a physical interface named dp0s5 which also has a virtual interface configured for the VLAN identifier of vlan-51. The following list provides the addresses of R1 and R2.
  • R1 loopback address—1.1.1.1/32
  • Physical data plane address—dp0s5
  • Virtual link between R1 and R2—vif 51
  • VLAN identifier—vlan-51
  • R1 interface facing vif 51—10.1.1.1/24
  • R2 interface facing vif 51—10.1.1.2/24
  • R2 loopback address—2.2.2.2/32
Figure 1. Configuring BFD for OSPFv2 on a virtual interface by using IPv4 addressing

To configure a BFD session between R1 and R2, perform the following steps in configuration mode.

Router Step Command
R1 Create a BFD template called test. See section Configuring the BFD template.
R1 Associate the BFD test template with the interface 
vyatta@R1# set interface dataplane vif 51 bfd template  test
R1 Register R2 as a BFD neighbor. 
vyatta@R1# set interfaces dataplane dp0s4 vif 51 ip ospf fall-over bfd
R1 Commit the configuration. 
vyatta@R1# commit
R1 Save the configuration.

R2 Create a BFD template called test. See section Configuring the BFD template.
R2 Associate the BFD test template with the destination address of R1 and the source address of R2.
Note: You can also associate the BFD parameter template with the interface by using the set interface dataplane vif <vf_id> bfd template <template-name> command.
