Hello all, I am trying to implement a mechanism to detect the liveness of a path and incase any of the links along the path is down, the end point switch would use the fastfailover groups and watchports to change the port along which it is forwarding. I used the following commands to establish a gre tunnel and set up a BFD session in OVS 2.0.1. The session was established and when I listed the interfaces, BFD showed up and the status was shown as "enabled=true", forwarding=true and state=up. But I later realized that support for group tables started from version 2.1. So when I used v2.1.3 and tried to esablish a BFD session in the exact samw way as before BFD status was shown as enabled=true but forwarding=false and state=down showed up. The commands I used to establish a tunnel and turn on BFD are as follows:
ovs-vsctl add-br br0 ovs-vsctl add-port br0 ethX ovs-vsctl add-port br0 gre0 -- set interface gre0 type=gre options:remote_ip=192.168.1.2 ovs-vsctl set interface gre0 bfd:enable=true The same thing has been done using VX lan as well Can someone help me with this, please.
