bfd dampening

Use bfd dampening to configure BFD session flapping suppression.

Use undo bfd dampening to disable BFD session flapping suppression.

Syntax

bfd dampening [ maximum maximum-interval initial initial-interval secondary secondary-interval ]

undo bfd dampening

Default

BFD sessions are not suppressed.

network-admin

Parameters

maximum-interval: Specifies the maximum amount of time a BFD session is suppressed, in the range of 1 to 3600 seconds. The default is 20 seconds.

initial-interval: Specifies the amount of time a BFD session is suppressed for the first time. The value range for the initial-interval argument is 1 to 3600 seconds. The default is 6 seconds.

secondary-interval: Specifies the amount of time a BFD session is suppressed for the second time. The value range for the secondary-interval argument is 1 to 3600 seconds. The default is 10 seconds.

Usage guidelines

When BFD detects a link failure, it tears down the BFD session and notifies the upper-layer protocol of the failure. When the upper-layer protocol re-establishes a neighbor relationship, the BFD session comes up again. BFD session flaps occur when a link fails and recovers repeatedly, which consumes significant system resources and causes network instability.

This command allows you to suppress BFD session flapping by using the initial-interval, secondary-interval, and maximum-interval arguments.

·     A BFD session is suppressed within the specified interval. The suppression time does not exceed the maximum-interval.

·     After a BFD session goes down for the second time, it cannot be re-established within the initial-interval.

·     After a BFD session goes down for the third time, it cannot be re-established within the secondary-interval.

·     After a BFD session goes down for the fourth time and at any later time, the following rules apply:

¡     If secondary-interval × 2n-3 is smaller than or equal to the maximum-interval, the BFD session cannot be re-established within the secondary-interval × 2n-3.

¡     If secondary-interval × 2n-3 is greater than the maximum-interval, the BFD session cannot be re-established within the maximum-interval.

The letter n, starting from 4, is the number of times the BFD session flaps.

Examples

# Enable BFD session flapping suppression, and set the maximum-interval, initial-interval, and secondary-interval to 12 seconds, 4 seconds, and 8 seconds, respectively.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] bfd dampening maximum 12 initial 4 secondary 8

bfd demand enable

Use bfd demand enable to enable the Demand BFD session mode.

Use undo bfd demand enable to restore the default.

Syntax

bfd demand enable

undo bfd demand enable

Default

The BFD session is in Asynchronous mode.

Views

Interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

In Demand mode, the device periodically sends BFD control packets. If the peer end is operating in Asynchronous mode (default), the peer end stops sending BFD control packets. If the peer end is operating in Demand mode, both ends stop sending BFD control packets. When the connectivity to another system needs to be verified explicitly, a system sends several BFD control packets with the Poll (P) bit set at the negotiated transmit interval. If no response is received within the detection interval, the session is considered down. If the connectivity is found to be up, no more BFD control packets are sent until the next command is issued.

In Asynchronous mode, the device periodically sends BFD control packets. The device considers that the session is down if it does not receive any BFD control packets within a specific interval.

BFD version 0 does not support this command. The configuration does not take effect.

Examples

# Enable the Demand BFD session mode on VLAN-interface 11.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 11

[Sysname-Vlan-interface11] bfd demand enable

bfd detect-interface

Use undo bfd detect-interface to remove the BFD session.

Syntax

bfd detect-interface source-ip ip-address [ discriminator local local-value remote remote-value ] [ template template-name ]

undo bfd detect-interface

Default

No BFD session is created for detecting the local interface state.

Views

Interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

ip-address: Specifies the source IP address for BFD control packets.

discriminator: Specifies BFD session discriminators. If you do not specify discriminators, the device obtains BFD session discriminators through autonegotiation.

local local-value: Specifies the local discriminator. The value range for the local-value argument is 385 to 512.

remote remote-value: Specifies the remote discriminator in the range of 1 to 4294967295.

template template-name: Specifies a template by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. If you do not specify a template, the BFD session uses the BFD parameters configured in interface view.

Usage guidelines

This command implements fast collaboration between interface state and BFD session state. When BFD detects a link fault, it sets the link layer protocol state to DOWN(BFD). This behavior helps applications relying on the link layer protocol state achieve fast convergence.

The source IP address of control packets is specified manually, and the destination IP address is fixed at 224.0.0.184. As a best practice, specify the IP address of the interface as the source IP address. If the interface does not have an IP address, specify a unicast IP address other than 0.0.0.0 as the source IP address.

·     Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces.

·     Member ports in a Layer 3 aggregation group.

·     Layer 3 Ethernet subinterfaces.

·     VLAN interfaces.

This command must be executed on both ends of the link for a BFD session to be established.

If you execute both the bfd detect-interface and bfd echo enable commands for an interface, only the bfd detect-interface command takes effect.

For BFD detection to take effect, do not execute this command on both a Layer 3 Ethernet interface and its subinterface.

For BFD detection to take effect, do not execute this command on the following interfaces at the same time:

·     A Layer 3 aggregate interface.

·     A subinterface of the Layer 3 aggregate interface.

·     A member port of the Layer 3 aggregate interface.

If the peer device does not support obtaining BFD session discriminators through autonegotiation, you must specify the discriminators on both the local and peer devices. Without the discriminators, the BFD session cannot come up.

The BFD session discriminators must match on the local and peer devices. For example, if you configure bfd detect-interface source-ip 20.1.1.1 discriminator local 513 remote 514 on the local device, you must configure bfd detect-interface source-ip 20.1.1.2 discriminator local 514 remote 513 on the peer device.

The local discriminators of BFD sessions for interfaces on the same device must be different.

Examples

# Create a BFD session to detect the state of VLAN-interface 10, and specify the source IP address as 20.1.1.1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 10

Syntax

bfd detect-interface first-fail-timer seconds

undo bfd detect-interface first-fail-timer

Default

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

seconds: Specifies the timeout time that reports the first BFD session establishment failure to the data link layer. The value range for this argument is 1 to 10000 seconds.

Usage guidelines

If the BFD session fails to be established when the timer expires, BFD reports the failure to the data link layer and sets the data link layer state of the interface to DOWN(BFD). This behavior rapidly identifies the interfaces for which BFD sessions fail to be established. In this case, the BFD session state is displayed as Down in the display bfd session command output. The line protocol state of the interface is displayed as DOWN(BFD) in the display interface command output.

If the local end is configured with the bfd detect-interface command, the BFD session for detecting the local interface state fails to be established when the following conditions exist:

·     The remote end is not configured with the bfd detect-interface command.

·     The local and remote ends have mismatching BFD authentication settings.

Examples

# Configure the timer that delays reporting the first BFD session establishment failure as 10 seconds.

Parameters

admin-down: Notifies a session down event to the data link layer upon receipt of a BFD packet with the State field as AdminDown. This keyword helps rapidly discover interfaces that BFD sessions are manually shut down. If you do not specify this keyword, the device sets the BFD session state to Down, but does not notify the session down event to the data link layer.

authentication-change: Immediately sets the session to down state upon a local authentication information change. This keyword helps rapidly discover interfaces with authentication information changes. If you do not specify this keyword, the device sets the session to down state if authentication information inconsistency still persists after a period of time.

session-up: Ignores authentication information inconsistency when the local session is up. If there is a large number of BFD sessions, examining authentication information consistency affects device performance. If you do not specify this keyword, the device examines authentication information in incoming BFD packets when the local session state is up. If the authentication information does not match on the two ends, the BFD session is declared down.

Usage guidelines

If you do not specify any parameters, this command enables or disables all types of special processing.

network-admin

Parameters

receive: Specifies the echo packet receiving capability.

send: Specifies the echo packet sending capability.

Usage guidelines

If you enable the echo packet mode for a BFD session in which control packets are sent and the session comes up, BFD performs the following operations:

·     Periodically sends echo packets to detect link connectivity.

·     Decreases the control packet receiving rate at the same time.

To enable only the echo packet receiving capability, use the bfd echo receive enable command.

To enable only the echo packet sending capability, use the bfd echo send enable command.

If you do not specify the receive or send keyword, the command enables both the echo packet receiving and sending capabilities.

If you configure both the bfd detect-interface and bfd echo enable commands for an interface, only the bfd detect-interface command takes effect.

BFD version 0 does not support this command. The configuration does not take effect.
