Disabling BFD for VRRP
If any or all VRRP sessions are disabled, the sessions are torn down. A final Admin Down control packet
is sent to all neighbors and sessions on the remote system change to the Down state (Message 3).

Configuring BFD for VLANs
BFD on Dell Networking systems is a Layer 3 protocol. Therefore, BFD is used with routed VLANs. BFD
on VLANs is analogous to BFD on physical ports. If no routing protocol is enabled, and a remote system
fails, the local system does not remove the connected route until the first failed attempt to send a packet. If
BFD is enabled, the local system removes the route when it stops receiving periodic control packets from
the remote system.
There is one BFD Agent for VLANs and port-channels, which resides on RP2 as opposed to the other
agents which are on the line card. Therefore, the 100 total possible sessions that this agent can maintain is
shared for VLANs and port-channels.
