Changing static route session parameters
BFD sessions are configured with default intervals and a default role. The parameters that can be
configured are: Desired TX Interval, Required Min RX Interval, Detection Multiplier, and system role.
These parameters are configured for all static routes; if you change a parameter, the change affects all
sessions for static routes.
To change parameters for static route sessions:

show bfd neighbors detail, as shown in the example in
Verifying BFD sessions with BGP neighbors using show bfd neighbors detail.
Disabling BFD for static routes
If BFD is disabled, all static route BFD sessions are torn down. A final Admin Down packet is sent to all
neighbors on the remote systems, and those neighbors change to the Down state (Message 3).
To disable BFD for static routes:
Configuring BFD for OSPF
BFD for OSPF is only supported on platforms: e c z
When using BFD with OSPF, the OSPF protocol registers with the BFD manager on the RPM. BFD
sessions are established with all neighboring interfaces participating in OSPF. If a neighboring interface
fails, the BFD agent on the line card notifies the BFD manager, which in turn notifies the OSPF protocol
that a link state change occurred.
