Configures Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on a PIM interface (VLAN).
| vlan | VLAN configured for PIM IPv4. |
| vlan_name | Specifies the name of the VLAN configured for PIM IPv4. |
| bfd | Specifies Bidirectional Forwarding Detection. |
| on | Specifies to turn on BFD for PIM interface. |
| off | Specifies to turn off BFD for PIM interface (Default). |
None.
BFD is used to detect faults in the bidirectional path between two forwarding engines. By default, BFD is off on PIM interfaces. When BFD is turned on, it monitors the PIM interface for faults.
This feature is only applicable when PIM is configured for IPv4. If PIM IPv4 is not enabled on the specified VLAN, attempts to configure BFD will result in an error.
The following example configures BFD on a VLAN called "v1:
configure pim vlan v1 bfd on
configure pim vlan v1 bfd on (VLAN v1 not configured for PIM IPv4) Error: PIM IPv4 is not configured on v1
