bfd neighbor – establishes a BFD session with a neighbor.
bfd all-neighbors – establishes BFD sessions with all neighbors discovered by the IS-IS 
protocol or OSPF protocol out of all interfaces.
vrrp bfd
Establish a VRRP BFD session.
C-Series, E-Series
Syntax
vrrp bfd {all-neighbors | neighbor ip-address} [interval 
interval min_rx min_rx multiplier value role {active | 
passive}]
To undo your VRRP BFD configuration, use the no vrrp bfd {all-neighbors | 
neighbor ip-address } [interval interval min_rx min_rx 
multiplier value role {active | passive}] command.
Parameters
all-neighbors Establish BFD sessions with all BFD neighbors on an interface.
neighbor 
ip-
address
Enter the IP address of the BFD neighbor.
interval 
milliseconds
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword interval to specify non-default 
BFD session parameters beginning with the transmission interval. The 
range is 50 to 1000. The default is 100.
min_rx 
milliseconds
Enter the keyword min_rx to specify the minimum rate at which the 
local system would like to receive control packets from the remote 
system. The range is 50 to 1000. The default is 
100.
multiplier Enter the keyword multiplier to specify the number of packets 
that must be missed in order to declare a session down. The range is 
3 to 50. The default is 3.
role [active | 
passive]
Enter the role that the local system assumes:
• Active—The active system initiates the BFD session. Both 
systems can be active for the same session.
• Passive—The passive system does not initiate a session. It 
only responds to a request for session initialization from the 
active system.
The default is Active.
Defaults See Parameters.
