Disabling BFD for IS-IS
If BFD is disabled globally, all sessions are torn down, and sessions on the remote system are placed in a
Down state. If BFD is disabled on an interface, sessions on the interface are torn down, and sessions on the
remote system are placed in a Down state (Message 1). Disabling BFD does not trigger a change in BFD
clients; a final Admin Down packet is sent before the session is terminated.

Configuring BFD for BGP
BFD for BGP is only supported on the S5000 platform.
In a BGP core network, BFD provides rapid detection of communication failures in BGP fast-forwarding
paths between internal BGP (iBGP) and external BGP (eBGP) peers for faster network reconvergence.
BFD for BGP is supported on 1GE, 10GE, 40GE, port-channel, and VLAN interfaces. BFD for BGP does
not support IPv6 and the BGP multihop feature.
