7.5.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series.
Usage Information
This command provides the exibility to ne-tune the timer values based on individual interface needs when ISIS
BFD is congured in CONFIGURATION mode. Any timer values specied 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
congured in CONFIGURATION mode.
To disable BFD on a specic interface while BFD is congured in CONFIGURATION mode, use the keyword
disable.
neighbor bfd
Explicitly enable a BFD session with a BGP neighbor or a BGP peer group.
Syntax

Parameters

sessions in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
peer-group-name Enter the name of the peer group that you want to explicitly enable for BFD sessions.
Defaults None

Usage Information
When you enable a BFD session with a specied 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 specied parameters with the bfd neighbor command.
When you explicitly enable a BGP neighbor for a BFD session with the bfd neighbor command:
