Thank you for the suggestion but no joy. The below was similar to my config but I switched to your exact config. Bird is still stuck in Init. Bird keeps sending bfd messages with state=Init to Juniper which has state=Down but the Juniper won't transition to Init or Up. Does it matter I am in 'rr client' mode? -----Original Message----- From: Job Snijders [mailto:job@instituut.net] Sent: Saturday, August 15, 2015 10:52 AM To: Leighton, Russell Cc: bird-users@network.cz Subject: Re: BFD and Juniper?

I'm trying to get bird 1.5.0 to have BFD work with Juniper MX Routers.
Sessions get stuck in Init state with the Juniper side in Down state.
Any suggestions?
On the BIRD box, set this in sysctl.conf: net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range="49152 65535" BIRD config: protocol bfd bfd1 { interface "xxxx"; } protocol bgp neighbor1 { [ ... ] bfd on; } On the Juniper side something like this: job@eunetworks-1.router.nl.coloclue.net> show configuration protocols bgp group internal-ipv4 neighbor 94.142.247.237 bfd-liveness-detection minimum-interval 10; multiplier 5; transmit-interval { minimum-interval 100; } Kind regards, Job
