Configuring BFD for IS-IS
BFD for IS-IS is supported on platforms: e
When using BFD with IS-IS, the IS-IS protocol registers with the BFD manager on the RPM. BFD
sessions are then established with all neighboring interfaces participating in IS-IS. If a neighboring
interface fails, the BFD agent on the line card notifies the BFD manager, which in turn notifies the IS-IS
protocol that a link state change occurred.
Configuring BFD for IS-IS is a two-step process:
1. Enable BFD globally. See Enabling BFD globally on page 140.
2. Establish sessions for all or particular IS-IS neighbors.

• Change session parameters.
• Disable BFD sessions for IS-IS.
Establishing sessions with IS-IS neighbors
BFD sessions can be established for all IS-IS neighbors at once or sessions can be established for all
neighbors out of a specific interface.
