Bfd + bgp v7 issues

Hi

I have a new v7 router trying to do bfd + bgp. What I have found
in V6 if I had configured use-bfd and bfd wasn’t configured on the other side bgp would stay up. now if I have it configured and bfd never connects the bgp goes down. This is different behavior to v6 , personally i think its worse

Another strange thing. i rebooted by router to apply patches and one rebooted bgp failed to stay up - it would come up - but for some reason bfd did’t connect and bgp comes down.

what I have noticed is I have to disable bfd and then reenable it … this is not good when you reboot a router

has any one else seen this happen to them

running 7.19.2

It’s not normal to have to restart the router after configuration changes, and it’s also not normal that it doesn’t establish a session after a restart. You probably have a configuration error. Send the export from both routers.

2x export
/ro bg co export
/ro bf co export

@ASTradeW
Do you have BFD configuration for 7.x enabled properly?
I did the same mistake. No BFD traffic allowed at 7.x side.

Think I have found the answer from the wiki page
"
Configuration entries are order sensitive
"

Having a look at BFD - RouterOS - MikroTik Documentation

looks like addressing is used for multihop which i’m not using - can I not just leave it blank

Hmmm that seems to imply i need to add ip address - that I didn’t know I used a v6 to v7 upgrade - I will go read the doco

thanks

Hi

let me expand config changes

  • system device mode to allow re partitioning
  • re-partitioning
  • system packages update

from bfd
add disabled=no interfaces=TheInterface min-rx=100ms min-tx=100ms multiplier=3
