bfd max-session-support

Defines the maximum number of Bidirectional Forwarding Detection sessions that can be created.

Syntax

bfd max-session-support number-of-sessions
no bfd max-session-support

Command Default

By default, 250 BFD sessions are supported.

Parameters

number-of-sessions
Defines the maximum number of BFD sessions that can be created. Valid values range from 251 through 1000.

Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

If the maximum session count is changed to a higher value, notification is sent to the static protocol. The static protocol sends a session-creation request to BFD for any previous sessions that failed because the maximum session count was exceeded.

If the maximum session count is changed to a lower value, then x number of current sessions are brought down until the number of sessions does not exceed the maximum session count.

Use the no form of the command to revert to the default of 250 sessions.

Examples

This example sets the maximum at 300 sessions.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# bfd max-session-support 300
This example restores the default of 250 sessions.

device(config)# no bfd max-session support
