Usage Information
This command provides the flexibility to fine-tune the timer values based on
individual interface needs when ISIS BFD is configured in CONFIGURATION mode.
Any timer values specified with this command overrides timers set using the bfd
all-neighbors command. Using the no form of this command does not disable
BFD if BFD is configured in CONFIGURATION mode.
To disable BFD on a specific interface while BFD is configured in CONFIGURATION
mode, use the keyword disable.

Usage Information
When you enable a BFD session with a specified BGP neighbor or peer group using
the bfd neighbor command, the default BFD session parameters are used
(interval: 200 milliseconds, min_rx: 200 milliseconds, multiplier: 3 packets, and
role: active) if you have not specified parameters with the bfd neighbor
command.
When you explicitly enable a BGP neighbor for a BFD session with the bfd
neighbor
