MikroTik FINALLY Supports BFD in v7!!! (BGP & OSPF Setup)

Many of us have been waiting for what feels like years (because it has been) for BFD to release on ROSv7, and guess what. It's FINALLY here guys!!! I've been testing this since 7.10 released and I am very happy with how things are working. I have this running on both OSPF and BGP and it does exactly what I need it to. And hopefully it also allows many of you to start deploying v7 to your networks. This is a cause of celebration!

I'll mainly just be walking you guys through the setup process. Use the chapters to skip to the lab or specific protocol setups.

I'm looking into getting Mikrotik with Ubiquiti Wifi APs (to replace my old homegrade Asus AC66U-s) and find your videos really good, educational and well packed with info! Stumpled upon many of them :)

Finally, BFD! I was trying to test it at the end of last year with OSPF, (RoS 6.49.7) only to find out that it was broken.

28:45 maybe you would need to set the VRFs exclusively for VRF interfaces other than MAIN - could be a thing

btw. with [F6] you can hop through windows in a winbox session ;)

Hi there, I want to use OSPF + BDF for lets say two WAN links ( LTE and starlink) and connect them to a CHR router over wireguard.
Over the wireguard will run L2TP transparently (not encrypted) mainly to have MRRU tools to massage MTU as necessary.
The part I am having trouble with is setting up the OPSPF and BDF.

thanks sir
would you please add video and show how to setup v2ray client on mikrotik docker. I really need it and help me bypass restrict

[BattousaiHBr]

is there any use-case for using different tx/rx timers?

[m-electronics]

9:24 Hmmm... I did some tests a few weeks ago and there when I set a link down directly on the router OSPF is very fast to notice about it. Makes it a difference if the link goes down on the router itself or it goes down otherwise?

I new you like BFD support in ver 7.10. but how you fix wifi issue in hAP ax3 with version above 7.8?
I can not use BFD with lossing wifi every couple of hours due to bug is wifiwave2.

A bit off topic but does anyone know how to see the AS path of a received BGP route in version 7? Its a mystery to me! Or is it just not available to see yet? ta

[umiseaz]

Do u know how to enable openvpn for ipv6 in mikrotik

[ThomasSmoke]

Will it work between routers running ROS 7 and ROS 6.x ?

[m-electronics]

3:59 Wait! In OSPF when a link goes down it is very fast to route it over another way... For me the BFD there make sense only to message faster when a router is going down, not the interface is going down. And in BGP of course
