Disabling BFD for Static Routes
If you disable BFD, all static route BFD sessions are torn down.
A final Admin Down packet is sent to all neighbors on the remote systems, and those neighbors change to the Down state.
To disable BFD for static routes, use the following command.
Disable BFD for static routes.
CONFIGURATION mode

Configure BFD for OSPF
When using BFD with OSPF, the OSPF protocol registers with the BFD manager on the RPM.
BFD sessions are established with all neighboring interfaces participating in OSPF. If a neighboring interface fails, the BFD agent
on the line card notifies the BFD manager, which in turn notifies the OSPF protocol that a link state change occurred.
Configuring BFD for OSPF is a two-step process:
1. Enable BFD globally. Refer to Enabling BFD Globally.
2. Establish sessions with OSPF neighbors. Refer to Establishing Sessions with OSPF Neighbors.
