Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

BFD neighbor configuration currently lacks local-address and interface options, which are required for:

  • IPv6 peers (local-address is mandatory)
  • Specifying which interface to use for BFD sessions (sometimes BFD can't trigger BGP without interface)

Describe the solution you'd like

Add two optional fields to BFD neighbor dialog:

  • Local Address: IP address to bind and send packets from
  • Interface: Dropdown to select which interface to use

Describe alternatives you've considered

No alternatives considered. This is a standard FRR feature documented at https://docs.frrouting.org/en/latest/bfd.html#bfdd-commands that complements the existing BFD support in the plugin.
