The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) feature is not supported from SBC release 08.02.01 onward.
In this section:
The SBC uses Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) in remote end points and routers to continuously monitor the link availability of the SBC. If the BFD session is down, the router declares the link as down and the upper layer application protocol performs the appropriate actions (such as, not sending control packets). For more information, refer to Bidirectional Forwarding Detection.
Use the Bfd screen to configure the BFD. You can also configure the BFD in the ipInterface
through the CLI (refer to IP Interface Group - CLI).
On the SBC main screen, navigate to Configuration > System Provisioning > Category: Base Provisioning > IP Interface Group > IP Interface > Bfd or All > Address Context > IP Interface Group > IP Interface > Bfd.
Select the desired Address Context, IP Interface Group, and IP Interface from their respective drop-down menus.
Click New Bfd to create a new BFD. The Create New Bfd panel appears.
Enter and select the desired configuration details in the Create New Bfd panel. Click Save.
You can only modify the Bfd parameters (except the CE Name) when the BFD State is disabled.
To modify the CE Name, you must delete and then recreate the BFD session.
The Success popup window appears. Click Ok.
