Configuration Examples for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
Ethernet interface 6/1 in SwitchB. The example, starting in global configuration mode, shows the
configuration of BFD. For both SwitchA and SwitchB, BFD is configured globally for all interfaces
associated with the OSPF process.

The output from the show bfd neighbors details command verifies that a BFD session has been created
and that OSPF is registered for BFD support. The relevant command output is shown in bold in the
output.
