Verifying the configuration
Ping Switch C on Switch A. Meanwhile, perform an active/standby switchover on Switch B. The ping
operation is successful during the whole switchover process.
BFD for BGP configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 66,
• Configure OSPF as the IGP in AS 200.
• Establish two IBGP connections between Switch A and Switch C. When both paths are working,
Switch C adopts the path Switch A<—>Switch B<—>Switch C to exchange packets with network
1.1.1.0/24. Configure BFD over the path. If the path fails, BFD can quickly detect the failure and
notify it to BGP. Then the path Switch A<—>Switch D<—>Switch C takes effect immediately.
