Connectivity Guide

● interval milliseconds — Enter the time interval for sending control packets to BFD peers,
from 100 to 1000. You cannot configure a value that is less than 100 milliseconds.
● min_rx milliseconds — Enter the maximum waiting time for receiving control packets from BFD
peers, from 100 to 1000. Dell EMC recommends using more than 100 milliseconds.
● multiplier number — Enter the maximum number of consecutive packets that must not be
received from a BFD peer before the session state changes to Down, from 3 to 50.
● role {active | passive} — Enter active if the router initiates BFD sessions. Both BFD
peers can be active at the same time. Enter passive if the router does not initiate BFD sessions, and
only responds to a request from an active BFD to initialize a session.
Default
The time interval for sending control packets to BFD peers is 200 milliseconds.
The maximum waiting time for receiving control packets from BFD peers is 200 milliseconds.
The number of consecutive packets that must be received from a BFD peer is 3.
The BFD role is active
Command Mode CONFIG-INTERFACE
Usage
Information
● This command can be used to enable or disable BFD for an interface associated with OSPFv3.
Interface level BFD configuration takes precedent over the OSPF global level BFD configuration. If
there is no BFD configuration present at the interface level global OSPF BFD configuration will be
inherited. All types of interfaces are supported.
Example
(conf-if-eth1/1/1)#ipv6 ospf bfd all-neighbors
Supported
releases
10.4.2E or later
ip route bfd
Enables or disables BFD on static routes.
Syntax
ip route bfd [vrf vrf-name] [interval min_rx multiplier role {active |
passive}]
To disable BFD on a static route, use the no ip route bfd command.
Parameters
● vrf vrf-name — Enter the keyword VRF followed by the name of the VRF to configure static
route in that VRF.
● interval milliseconds — Enter the time interval for sending control packets to BFD peers,
from 100 to 1000. Dell EMC recommends using more than 100 milliseconds.
● min_rx milliseconds — Enter the maximum waiting time for receiving control packets from BFD
peers, from 100 to 1000. Dell EMC recommends using more than 100 milliseconds.
● multiplier number — Enter the maximum number of consecutive packets that must not be
received from a BFD peer before the session state changes to Down, from 3 to 50.
● role {active | passive} — Enter active if the router initiates BFD sessions. Both BFD
peers can be active at the same time. Enter passive if the router does not initiate BFD sessions, and
only responds to a request from an active BFD to initialize a session.
Default
The time interval for sending control packets to BFD peers is 200 milliseconds.
The maximum waiting time for receiving control packets from BFD peers is 200 milliseconds.
The number of consecutive packets that must be received from a BFD peer is 3.
The BFD role is active
Command Mode CONFIG
Usage
Information
● This command can be used to enable or disable BFD for all the configured IPv4 static route for
specified VRF. If VRF name is not specified the command will be applicable for default VRF.
