PurposeCommand or Action
This example sets the BFD minimum interval to 6500
milliseconds.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf)# bfd
minimum-interval 6500
Sets the BFD multiplier.
bfd multiplier multiplier
Step 5
Example:
This example sets the BFD multiplier to 7.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf)# bfd multiplier
7
Configures an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) area.
area area-id
Step 6
Example:
Replace area-id with the OSPF area identifier.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf)# area 0
Enters interface configuration mode and specifies the
interface name and notation rack/slot/module/port.
interface type interface-path-id
Example:
Step 7
• The example indicates a Gigabit Ethernet interface
in modular services card slot 3.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar)# interface
gigabitEthernet 0/3/0/1
Enables BFD to detect failures in the path between adjacent
forwarding engines.
bfd fast-detect
Example:
Step 8
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar-if)# bfd
fast-detect
commit
Step 9
Verify that BFD is enabled on the appropriate interface.show run router ospf
Example:
Step 10
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar-if)# show run
router ospf
Enabling BFD for OSPFv3 on an Interface
The following procedures describe how to configure BFD for OSPFv3 on an interface. The steps in the
procedure are common to the steps for configuring BFD on IS-IS, and MPLS-TE; only the command mode
differs.
BFD per-interface configuration is supported for OSPF, OSPFv3, IS-IS, and MPLS-TE only. For information
about configuring BFD on an OSPF interface, see Enabling BFD for OSPF on an Interface.
