<descrip>
<tag>bfd <m/switch/</tag>
The Static protocol could use BFD protocol for next hop liveness
detection. If enabled, a BFD session to the route next hop is created
and the static route is BFD-controlled -- the static route is announced
only if the next hop liveness is confirmed by BFD. If the BFD session
fails, the static route is removed. Note that this is a bit different
compared to other protocols, which may use BFD as an advisory mechanism
for fast failure detection but ignores it if a BFD session is not even
established.
This option can be used for static routes with a direct next hop, or
also for for individual next hops in a static multipath route (see
above). Note that BFD protocol also has to be configured, see
<ref id="sect-bfd" name="BFD"> section for details. Default value is no.
<tag><m/filter expression/</tag>
This is a special option that allows filter expressions to be configured
on per-route basis. Can be used multiple times. These expressions are
evaluated when the route is originated, similarly to the import filter
of the static protocol. This is especially useful for configuring route
attributes, e.g., <cf/ospf_metric1 = 100;/ for a route that will be
exported to the OSPF protocol.
