Hi Alexander,
Thanks. I have tried
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range="49152 65535"
but unfortunately no change.
What I do not understand is that Interval and Timeout is wrong on the
non-working peer:
# birdc show bfd sess
BIRD 2.0.8 ready.
bfd1:
IP address Interface State Since Interval Timeout
172.20.215.130 --- Up 2024-01-16 0.100 0.500
172.20.215.131 --- Init 2024-01-16 1.000 10.000
Do these parameters need to be identical among peers, similar as with OSPF?
Note, they are identical to my knowledge but could there be any implicit
setting that causes discrepancy between the peers and would cause a connection
being stuck in "Up"? For example, in bird I have "idle tx interval 500 ms" but
I could not find a corresponding option in VyOS/FFR.
Could you think of any tcpdump/netcat debug?
Thanks,
Luke
