Summary

Documented the new BFD neighbor-level Local Address and Interface options in FRR dynamic routing docs.

What changed

  • Updated source/manual/dynamic_routing.rst in the Routing → BFD → Neighbors options table.
  • Added Local Address with:
    • behavior: specifies the local IP address to bind the peer listener to and to use for sending packets
    • requirement: mandatory for IPv6 peers
    • use case: allows binding to specific source addresses in multi-homed environments
  • Added Interface with:
    • behavior: selects which interface to use for this BFD peer
    • use case: binds the BFD session to a specific network interface
