Soooo, how does one get BFD to come up on ROS 7? :)

So, I was off work sick today, have been holding off on upgrading all my 'production' gear to ROS 7 until BFD support was a thing. Supposedly it's now supported, so I upgraded one of my routers (RB1100AHx4). And yeah, BFD does not appear to work :( Asked a few colleagues, and it's working for them. We compared configs, and identical configs basically, just different hardware on the other side. Is there a trick to it? Is it only supported on specific Mikrotik hardware? Or only TO/FROM specific remote hardware? I tried enabling logging (/system logging add prefix=debug topics=bfd), which didn't really add anything.. Remote end is Cisco Nexus Config is basically: /routing bfd configuration add disabled=no interfaces=vlan300_WyongBGP /routing bgp connection add as=65001 connect=yes disabled=no hold-time=6s input.filter=BGP_SAU_TOR_IN_V4 keepalive-time=2s listen=yes local.address=103.235.x.x .role=ebgp name=SAU-TOR-WYONG-V4 output.filter-chain=BGP_SAU_TOR_OUT_V4 \ .network=bgp-networks .no-client-to-client-reflection=yes .redistribute=connected,static,vpn,dhcp remote.address=103.235.x.x/32 .as=64101 .port=179 router-id=103.235.x.x routing-table=main templates=SAU \ use-bfd=yes If I watch the BFD sessions, I'll see it show as 'dead',. and then disappear, then show as dead, then disappear.. Any thoughts? I've set this one to a 6 second hold timer, and halted the other upgrades for now. I've also reset the config and configured from scratch incase it was a v6>v7 upgrade issue, but still the same problem.. Thankyou! -- Damien Gardner Jnr VK2TDG. Dip EE.

BGP sessions on a CCR2004
by Christopher Hawker 20 Aug '24

20 Aug '24

Hello all, I'm currently in the process of establishing an iBGP session between a VyOS router and a CCR2004 (which is being used to terminate NBN services) and I'm encountering an issue with routing tables. The CCR is taking an awfully long time to drain the routes that it has learnt, after we had to down the session due to a misconfiguration. It is taking hours upon hours to process the table and drop the routes. Is there a way (short of rebooting the router) to help drain the routes in a more timely manner? Further to this, what should we be selecting in the input and output affinity fields to help divide the load between all cores and reduce the strain? Regards, Christopher Hawker

Meaning of an LED icon on Wireless Cube
by Karl Auer 13 Aug '24

13 Aug '24

The Wireless Cube Pro has several LEDs - power, network activity, and five signal strength indicators. It also has an LED (in between the power and network LEDs) the function of which is a mystery. I'm *guessing* that it illuminates if the link fails over to 5GHz, but the icon does not help - it's an upside down teardrop with a stylised head and shoulders in it. Any clues? I did look through what doco I could find, to no avail. Not sure if the attached image will survive the mailing list; just in case, it's also here for the next day or so: https://www.biplane.com.au/kauer/miscellaneous/wireless_cube_60Pro_LEDs.jpg Regards, K. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karl Auer (kauer(a)nullarbor.com.au, he/him) work +61 2 64957435 http://www.nullarbor.com.au mobile +61 428 957160 Please feel free to deal with this email during your own working hours.
