bfd echo-src-ip-address

NOTE:

Not supported on the 8320 and 8325.

Syntax

bfd echo-src-ip-address <IPV4-ADDR>

no bfd echo-src-ip-address <IPV4-ADDR>

Description

Sets the source IPv4 address for BFD echo packets. This address is used in all echo sessions.

NOTE:

The source IP address must not be on the same network segment as any switch interface, otherwise a large number of ICMP redirect packets may be sent by the remote device, causing network congestion.

The no form of this command removes source IPv4 address for BFD echo packets, which causes the switch to stop sending echo packets. When a valid value is set, all sessions with a peer that is capable of receiving echo packets, will start transmitting echo packets. BFD control sessions continue to run concurrently with echo packets.

Command context

Parameters

<IPV4-ADDR>

Specifies an IP address in IPv4 format (x.x.x.x), where x is a decimal number from 0 to 255. You can remove leading zeros. For example, the address 192.169.005.100 becomes 192.168.5.100.

Examples

Setting the source IP address to 198.51.100.1:

switch(config)# bfd echo-src-ip-address 198.51.100.1

Removing the source IP address 198.51.100.1:

switch(config)# no bfd echo-src-ip-address 198.51.100.1
