Single-hop echo mode

With BFD echo mode enabled for a static route, the output interface sends BFD echo packets to the destination device, which loops the packets back to test the link reachability.

IMPORTANT:

Do not use BFD for a static route with the output interface in spoofing state.

To configure BFD echo mode for a static route:
