Quick Steps for Configuring BFD
Configuring BFD involves a two-fold approach: configuring BFD on the IP interfaces that will use BFD
and then configuring Layer 3 protocols to use BFD (see “Quick Steps for Configuring BFD Support for
Layer 3 Protocols” on page 30-6).
The following steps provide a brief tutorial for configuring a BFD interface and related parameters:
4 Configure a BFD interface using the ip bfd-std interface command with the name of an existing IP
interface. For example:
-> ip bfd-std interface bfd-vlan-101
5 Configure a global transmit time interval for all BFD interfaces using the ip bfd-std transmit
command. This command defines a default transmit value that is automatically applied when a BFD inter-
face is created. For example:
-> ip bfd-std transmit 500
6 Configure the transmit time interval for a specific BFD interface using the ip bfd-std interface trans-
mit command. The value set with this command overrides the global transmit value configured for the
switch. For example:
-> ip bfd-std interface bfd-vlan-101 transmit 500
7 Configure a global receive time interval for all BFD interfaces using the ip bfd-std receive command.
This command defines a default receive time value that is automatically applied when a BFD interface is
created. For example:
-> ip bfd-std receive 500
8 Configure the receive time interval for a specific BFD interface using the ip bfd-std interface receive
command. The value set with this command overrides the global receive time value configured for the
switch:
-> ip bfd-std interface bfd-vlan-101 receive 500
9 Configure the BFD interface dead interval multiplier value using the ip bfd-std interface multiplier
command. For example:
-> ip bfd-std interface bfd-vlan-101 multiplier 5
10 Configure the global operational mode and echo status for the BFD protocol using the ip bfd-std mode
command. This command defines a default mode and status that is automatically applied when a BFD
interface is created. For example:
-> ip bfd-std mode echo-only
11 Configure the operational mode and echo status for a specific BFD interface using the ip bfd-std inter-
face mode command. The mode and status set with this command overrides the global mode and status
configured for the switch. For example:
-> ip bfd-std interface bfd-vlan-101 mode echo-only
