Implementing BFD
-
Create a named BFD probe in global configuration mode.
-
Optionally modify the BFD probe Control packet parameters: minimum transmit interval, minimum receive interval, and Control packet multiplier.
-
Optionally disable the Echo function, if you do not want to transmit Echo packets.
-
Optionally modify the Echo packet parameters, minimum transmit interval, minimum receive interval, and Echo packet miss count.
-
Optionally enable Demand mode to disable Asynchronous operations and depend upon the Echo function for the detection of a communications failure on the neighbor.
-
Optionally provide a string of up to 127 characters to describe the BFD probe.
-
Optionally, modify the BFD slow timer feature to override the Control min-rx value when Echo mode is active.
-
Place the BFD probe in service.
-
Enable the default or named BFD probe for the interface configuration mode context in which it will operate.
-
In OSPF router configuration mode, direct OSPF to create BFD sessions for its neighbors for the specified interface or all interfaces.
