Establishing Static Route Sessions on Specic Neighbors
You can selectively enable BFD sessions on specic neighbors based on a destination prex-list.
When you establish a BFD session using the ip route bfd command, all the next-hop neighbors in the static route become part of the
BFD session. Starting with Dell EMC Networking OS release 9.11.0.0, you can enable BFD sessions on specic next-hop neighbors. You can
specify the next-hop neighbors to be part of a BFD session by including them in a prex-list.
Prex lists are used in route maps and route ltering operations. You can use prex lists as an alternative to existing access lists (ACLs). A
prex is a portion of the IP address. Prex lists constitute any number of bits in an IP address starting from the far left bit of the far left
octet. By specifying the exactly number of bits in an IP address that belong to a prex list, the prex list can be used to aggregate
addresses and perform some functions; for example, redistribution.
You can use the following options to enable or disable the BFD session:
• Permit – The permit option enables creation of a BFD session on the specied prex list or prex list range. The no permit option
enables tear down of the BFD session if and only if the ACL has no permit entry that shares the same neighbor.
