What to Do Next
See the “Monitoring and Troubleshooting BFD” section on page 37-16 for more information on
monitoring and troubleshooting BFD. If you want to configure BFD support for another routing
protocol, see the following sections:
• Configuring BFD Support for BGP, page 37-8
• Configuring BFD Support for EIGRP, page 37-9
Configuring BFD Support for Static Routing
Perform this task to configure BFD support for static routing. Repeat the steps in this procedure on each
BFD neighbor. For more information, see the “Example: Configuring BFD Support for Static Routing”
section on page 37-27.
To configure BFD support for static routing, perform this task:
Step 6
show bfd neighbors [details]
Switch# show bfd neighbors details
(Optional) Displays information that can help verify if the
BFD neighbor is active and displays the routing protocols
that BFD has registered.
Note If hardware-offloaded BFD sessions are configured
with Tx and Rx intervals that are not multiples of
50 ms, the hardware intervals are changed.
However, output from the show bfd neighbors
details command displays the configured intervals,
not the changed ones.
Step 7
show ip ospf
Switch# show ip ospf
(Optional) Displays information that can help verify if BFD
support for OSPF has been enabled.
