BFD for IPv6 static routes configuration example (direct next
hop)
Network requirements
In Figure 81, configure an IPv6 static route to subnet 120::/64 on Router A, and configure an IPv6 static
route to subnet 121::/64 on Router B. Enable BFD for both routes. Configure an IPv6 static route to subnet
120::/64 and an IPv6 static route to subnet 121::/64 on Router C. When the link between Router A and
Router B through the Layer 2 switch fails, BFD can detect the failure immediately and inform Router A and
Router B to communicate through Router C.

Configuration procedure
1. Configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.)
2. Configure IPv6 static routes and BFD:
# Configure IPv6 static routes on Router A, and enable BFD control mode for the IPv6 static route
that traverses Ethernet 1/1.
<RouterA> system-view
[RouterA] interface ethernet 1/1

[RouterA-Ethernet1/1] bfd detect-multiplier 9

# Configure IPv6 static routes on Router B, and enable BFD control mode for the IPv6 static route
that traverses the Layer 2 switch.
