slow-timer

Use this command to configure the BFD slow timer feature to override the Control min-rx value when echo mode is active.

Syntax

slow-timer interval
no slow-timer interval

Parameters

interval Specifies the Control min-rx override value in increments of 500ms when echo mode is active. Valid values are 1000 - 10000ms. Default value is 2000ms.

Defaults

The slow timer defaults to 2000ms.

Mode

BFD probe configuration mode.

Usage

The BFD session on the remote peer does not interact with the Echo packets. The Echo function runs by default and is used in conjunction with a slow timer, which reduces the frequency of transmitted Control packets from the remote peer to the local peer.

Use the “no” option to reset the slow-timer value to the default of 2000ms.

Examples

This example shows how to set the slow timer interval to 2500ms for the bfdProbe1 BFD probe:

System(rw)->configure
System(rw-config)->probe bfdProbe1 bfd
System(su-config-probe-bfd)->slow-timer 2500
System(su-config-probe-bfd)->
