BFD configuration on HA VIP

Products

Issue/Introduction

BFD configuration on HA VIP of T0 Gateway in NSX

Environment

VMware NSX

VMware NSX-T Data Center

Cause

Unsupported configuration

Resolution

BFD is not usually configured using HA VIP on NSX, but is rather configured using the uplink interfaces as source.
The drop down menu in the "Source Addresses" in BGP neighbors does not give an option to configure the HA VIP address as the source address.
Thus, from NSX end, we cannot configure BFD on HA VIP.
