Configure a multi-hop BFD policy to enable monitoring of connectivity between specific source and destination address pairs. This configuration helps to monitor links that traverse multiple hops in your network.
Before you begin
Follow these steps to configure a multi-hop BFD policy:
Procedure
Step 1 | In the Add BFD Multi-Hop dialog box, configure the following:
-
Click the BFD source address type:IPv4 or IPv6 radio button.
-
The Source Address drop-down list displays the network objects. Select the source address for the BFD policy; do not choose any-ipv4 or any-ipv6.
If you have not created the required network object, use Add ( ) and create a host/network object.
Note |
The created network object's IP type should match with the selected source IP type.
|
-
The Destination Address drop-down list displays network objects. Select the destination address for the BFD; do not choose any-ipv4 or any-ipv6.
If you have not created the required network object, use Add () and create a host/network object.
Note |
The created network object's IP type should match with the selected source IP type.
|
Attention |
Do not select the network object that has the same IP address as that of the source address.
|
-
The Template Name drop-down list displays multi-hop templates. Select the template to apply to the BFD policy.
|
Step 2 | Click OK and Save the configuration. |
The multi-hop map (table view) is displayed on the Multi-Hop tab page.
