Slow Timer

The BFD probe slow-timer attribute acts as an override for the control packet‘s minimum receive interval attribute. The slow-timer overrides the minimum receive interval when the Echo function is in use, as described in RFC 5880, section 6.8.3. The slow-timer has a range of 1000ms – 30000ms, with a default value of 2000ms, and must be configured in increments of 50ms.

Use the slow-timer command, in BFD probe configuration mode, to modify the minimum receive interval override interval when the Echo function is in use.

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)->
