Establishing Sessions with OSPFv3 Neighbors
You can establish BFD sessions with all OSPFv3 neighbors at once or with all neighbors out of a specic interface. Sessions are only
established when the OSPFv3 adjacency is in the Full state.
To establish BFD with all OSPFv3 neighbors or with OSPFv3 neighbors on a single interface, use the following commands.
Establish sessions with all OSPFv3 neighbors.
ROUTER-OSPFv3 mode
bfd all-neighbors
Establish sessions with OSPFv3 neighbors on a single interface.
INTERFACE mode
ipv6 ospf bfd all-neighbors
To view the established sessions, use the show bfd neighbors command.
The following example shows the show bfd neighbors command output for default VRF.
Establishing BFD Sessions with OSPFv3 Neighbors for nondefault VRFs
To congure BFD in a nondefault VRF, use the following procedure:
Enable BFD globally.
CONFIGURATION mode
bfd enable
Establish sessions with all OSPFv3 neighbors in a specic VRF.
ROUTER-OSPFv3 mode
bfd all-neighbors
Establish sessions with the OSPFv3 neighbors on a single interface in a specic VRF.
INTERFACE mode
ipv6 ospf bfd all-neighbors
To disable BFD on a specic OSPFv3 enabled interface, use the ipv6 ospf bfd all-neighbors disable command. You can
also use the no bfd enable command to disable BFD on a specic interface.
NOTE
: You can create upto a maximum of 200 BFD sessions (combination of OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 with a timer of 300*300*3)
for both default and nondefault VRFs.
The following example shows the conguration to establish sessions with all OSPFv3 neighbors in a specic VRF:
ipv6 router ospf 20 vrf vrf1
bfd all-neighbors
!
The following example shows the conguration to establish sessions with all OSPFv3 neighbors on a single interface in a specic VRF:
interface vlan 102
ip vrf forwarding vrf vrf1
ipv6 ospf bfd all-neighbors
The following example shows the show bfd vrf neighbors command output for nondefault VRF:
DellEMC#show bfd vrf vrf1 neighbors
