peer-group-name
Enter the name of the peer group that you want to explicitly enable for
BFD sessions.
Defaults none
Command Modes ROUTER BGP
Command History
Version 9.0(1.3) Introduced on the S5000.
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: 100
milliseconds, min_rx: 100 milliseconds, multiplier: 3 packets, and role: active) if you have not
specified parameters with the bfd all-neighbors command.
When you explicitly enable a BGP neighbor for a BFD session with the bfd neighbor
command:
The neighbor does not inherit the global BFD enable values configured with the bfd
all-neighbors command or configured for the peer group to which the neighbor
belongs.
The neighbor only inherits the global timer values configured with the bfd all-
neighbors
command: interval, min_rx, and multiplier.
