Usage
Information
This command provides the flexibility to fine tune the timer values based on individual interface
needs when ISIS BFD is configured in CONFIGURATION mode. Any timer values specified with
this command override timers set using the bfd all-neighbors command. Using the no
form of this command does not disable BFD if BFD is configured in CONFIGURATION mode.
Use the keyword disable to disable BFD on a specific interface while BFD is configured in
CONFIGURATION mode.

Version 8.3.8.0 Introduced on the S4810.
Version 8.4.1.3 Introduced on the E-Series ExaScale.
Usage
Information
When you enable a BFD session with a specified BGP neighbor or peer group using the bfd
neighbor command, the default BFD session parameters are used (interval: 100
milliseconds, min_rx: 100 milliseconds, multiplier: 3 packets, and role: active) if you have not
specified parameters with the bfd neighbor command.
When you explicitly enable a BGP neighbor for a BFD session with the bfd neighbor
command:
• The neighbor does not inherit the global BFD enable values configured with the bfd
neighbor command or configured for the peer group to which the neighbor belongs.
