Thanks Dirk, Yep, it was all working on ROS6 before the upgrade. Allowing all in the firewall from the TOR switch interface IP. Good question though, I’ll setup a capture piped back to my workstation later tonight and see exactly what’s going over there! (My bgp is internal to sau, announcing the smaller prefixes I use in my lab, not talking to the public routers - so it’s one physical link, no trunking - afaik we don’t support BFD unless you are directly peering on one of the ‘big’ routers for public BGP) Thanks!

What a way to spend a sick day :)
Dumb question, the remote end definitely supports bfd? (My SAU links don’t :( )
Are you permitting 3784 UDP and 3785 TCP/UDP in your input and output chains?
Can you see 3784/3785 traffic on your BGP interface?
BFD on my configs is pretty much as simple as yours, > interface listed in BFD > bfd = yes in BGP > firewall rules permitting…
Hope something in there helps,

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
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
it's 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! --
