OpenBFDD Container

Usage

This needs bridge mode as the BFD packets don't play well with NAT due to asymmetric flows.

You can interact with the bfdd-beacon using the bfdd-control command within the container.

Running the container

docker run -d --name openbfdd \
  -v /opt/openbfdd/openbfdd.conf:/etc/openbfdd.conf \
  --net=host \
  biwhite/openbfdd

Config

This container runs bfdd-daemon from openbfdd, reading a config file in /etc/openbfdd.conf. The file contains sets of commands as per bfdd-control syntax. A sample file is within the sample-openbfdd.conf file.

Get status of sessions

docker exec openbfdd bfdd-control status

Other bfdd-control commands

Restart

The config file will be re-read each time the daemon starts.

docker exec openbfdd killall bfdd-beacon
