Hi Irene,
You can adjust the linux source port range in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range to be IANA compliant. “BFD packets are sent with a dynamic source port number. Linux systems use by default a bit different dynamic port range than the IANA approved one (49152-65535). If you experience problems with compatibility, please adjust /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range.” (from https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&v=20&f=bird.html#toc6.3) HTH! Johannes From: Bird-users <[email protected]> on behalf of Irene Lalioti <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, 10.

That member has stumbled upon a non-RFC compliant BFD source port with result their CISCO router to drop the BFD packets. Is it that Bird does not or does change the code to use a different source port? We would need to see how to workaround this issue. Předem moc děkuji!! Hesky den!
