Symptom

After reloading a A9K-1x100GE-SE linecard, BFD may fail to initialize with fib_mgr correctly leaving bfd not operational on the line card. The show bfd session will show the bfd session state as Unknown while the bfd agent on the line card shows the session in Retry.

Conditions

This issue is rarely seen after the line card is reloaded.

Workaround

There is no workaround. Reload the line card again to recover from this condition. Restarting the bfd_agent process on the affected line card will also recover from the failure.
