min_rx
milliseconds
Enter the keywords min_rx to specify the minimum rate at which the local system
would like to receive control packets from the remote system. The range is from 50
to 1000. The default is 200.
multiplier value Enter the keywords multiplier to specify the number of packets that must be
missed in order to declare a session down. The range is from 3 to 50. The default is
3.
role [active |
passive]
Enter the role that the local system assumes:
● Active — active system initiates the BFD session. Both systems can be active
for the same session.
● Passive — passive system does not initiate a session. It only responds to a
request for session initialization from the active system.
The default is Active.

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.
neighbor bfd disable
Explicitly disable a BFD session with a BGP neighbor or a BGP peer group.
Syntax
neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} bfd disable
Parameters
ip-address Enter the IP address of the BGP neighbor that you want to explicitly disable for
BFD sessions in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
peer-group-name Enter the name of the peer group that you want to explicitly disable for BFD
sessions.
Defaults None
