Any assitance would be appreciated.</P> Wed, 20 Sep 2017 22:50:29 GMT https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/bgp-bfd/m-p/177966#M55446 r24481 2017-09-20T22:50:29Z https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/bgp-bfd/m-p/178074#M55457 <P>There is no direct way to have BFD or the loss of a BGP peer trigger a failover event for the PA cluster.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>There are options for defining triggers for failover beyond the built in hardware or HA failures that are automatically detected. &nbsp;You can add path monitoring so that if the loss of the link or path to your peer happens you can insure failover. &nbsp;This might be the only proxy I can think of.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><A href="https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/documentation/80/pan-os/pan-os/high-availability/define-ha-failover-conditions" target="_blank">https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/documentation/80/pan-os/pan-os/high-availability/define-ha-failover-conditions</A></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Your other option is to go Active/Active in the cluster so that both peers are up at all time and set your policy and local pref as needed.</P> Thu, 21 Sep 2017 10:05:49 GMT https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/bgp-bfd/m-p/178074#M55457 pulukas 2017-09-21T10:05:49Z
