Configure BFD for OSPF
When using BFD with OSPF, the OSPF protocol registers with the BFD manager. BFD sessions are established with all
neighboring interfaces participating in OSPF. If a neighboring interface fails, the BFD agent notifies the BFD manager, which in
turn notifies the OSPF protocol that a link state change has occurred.
Configuring BFD for OSPF is a two-step process:
1. Enable BFD globally.
2. Establish sessions with OSPF neighbors.
