Changing IS-IS 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 IS-IS sessions or all IS-IS sessions out of an interface; if you
change a parameter globally, the change affects all IS-IS neighbors sessions. If you change a parameter at
interface level, the change affects all IS-IS sessions on that interface.

Disabling BFD for IS-IS
If BFD is disabled globally, all sessions are torn down, and sessions on the remote system are placed in a
Down state. If BFD is disabled on an interface, sessions on the interface are torn down, and sessions on the
remote system are placed in a Down state (Message 3). Disabling BFD does not trigger a change in BFD
clients; a final Admin Down packet is sent before the session is terminated.
