CONFIGURATION mode
router bgp as-number
3 Add a BGP neighbor or peer group in a remote AS.
CONFIG-ROUTERBGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group name} remote-as as-number
4 Enable the BGP neighbor.
CONFIG-ROUTERBGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} no shutdown
5 Congure parameters for a BFD session established with all neighbors discovered by BGP. OR Establish a BFD session with a specied
BGP neighbor or peer group using the default BFD session parameters.
CONFIG-ROUTERBGP mode
bfd all-neighbors [interval millisecs min_rx millisecs multiplier value role {active |
passive}]
OR
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} bfd
NOTES:
• When you establish a BFD session with a specied BGP neighbor or peer group using the neighbor bfd command, the default
BFD session parameters are used (interval: 100 milliseconds, min_rx: 100 milliseconds, multiplier: 3 packets, and role: active).
• When you explicitly enable or disable a BGP neighbor for a BFD session with the neighbor bfd or neighbor bfd disable
commands, the neighbor does not inherit the BFD enable/disable values congured with the bfd all-neighbors command or
congured for the peer group to which the neighbor belongs. Also, the neighbor only inherits the global timer values congured
with the
bfd all-neighbors command (interval, min_rx, and multiplier).
6 Repeat Steps 1 to 5 on each BGP peer participating in a BFD session.
Disabling BFD for BGP
You can disable BFD for BGP.
To disable a BFD for BGP session with a specied neighbor, use the rst command. To remove the disabled state of a BFD for BGP session
with a specied neighbor, use the second command.
The BGP link with the neighbor returns to normal operation and uses the BFD session parameters globally congured with the bfd all-
neighbors
command or congured for the peer group to which the neighbor belongs.
• Disable a BFD for BGP session with a specied neighbor.
ROUTER BGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} bfd disable
• Remove the disabled state of a BFD for BGP session with a specied neighbor.
ROUTER BGP mode
no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} bfd disable
Use BFD in a BGP Peer Group
You can establish a BFD session for the members of a peer group (the neighbor peer-group-name bfd command in ROUTER BGP
conguration mode).
Members of the peer group may have BFD:
