Disabling BFD for OSPFv3
If you disable BFD globally, all sessions are torn down and sessions on the remote system are placed in a Down state.
If you disable BFD on an interface, sessions on the interface are torn down and sessions on the remote system are placed in a Down state.
Disabling BFD does not trigger a change in BFD clients; a nal Admin Down packet is sent before the session is terminated.
To disable BFD sessions, use the following commands.
• Disable BFD sessions with all OSPFv3 neighbors.
ROUTER-OSPFv3 mode
no bfd all-neighbors
• Disable BFD sessions with OSPFv3 neighbors on a single interface.

Congure BFD for BGP
In a BGP core network, bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) provides rapid detection of communication failures in BGP fast-forwarding
paths between internal BGP (iBGP) and external BGP (eBGP) peers for faster network reconvergence.
BFD for BGP is supported on 1GE, 10GE, 40GE, port-channel, and VLAN interfaces. BFD for BGP does not support IPv6 and the BGP
multihop feature.
Prerequisites
Before conguring BFD for BGP, you must rst congure the following settings:
1 Congure BGP on the routers that you want to interconnect, as described in Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4).
2 Enable fast fall-over for BGP neighbors to reduce convergence time (the neighbor fall-over command), as described in
Conguring BGP Fast Fail-Over.
Establishing Sessions with BGP Neighbors
Before conguring BFD for BGP, you must rst congure BGP on the routers that you want to interconnect.
For more information, refer to Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4).
For example, the following illustration shows a sample BFD conguration on Router 1 and Router 2 that use eBGP in a transit network to
interconnect AS1 and AS2. The eBGP routers exchange information with each other as well as with iBGP routers to maintain connectivity
and accessibility within each autonomous system.
