BFD in an OSPF Context

There are two aspects to configuring BFD in an OSPF context:

1. Enable the default or named BFD probe for the OSPF interface configuration mode context in which it will operate.
2. Direct OSPF to create BFD sessions for its neighbors for the specified interface or for all interfaces.

Use the bfd probe command, in interface configuration mode, to enable the BFD probe for that interface.

This example shows how to use the BFD probe bfdProbe1 on the VLAN 1 interface:

System(rw)->
System(rw)->configure
System(rw-config)->interface vlan 1
System(rw-config-intf-vlan.0.1)->bfd probe bfdProbe1

Use the bfd command in OSPF router configuration mode to specify the interface or all interfaces on which BFD sessions will be created for its neighbors.

This example enters OSPF router configuration 1 and configures OSPF to create BFD sessions for its neighbors on interface VLAN 1000:

System(su)->configure
System(su-config)->router ospf 1
System(su-config-ospf-1)->bfd interface vlan.0.1000
System(su-config-ospf-1)->
