BFD for BGP configuration example 
Network requirements 
As shown in Figure 77, configure OSPF as the IGP in AS 200. 
  Establish two IBGP connections between Switch A and Switch C. When both paths operate 
correctly, Switch C uses the path Switch A<—>Switch B<—>Switch C to exchange packets 
with network 1.1.1.0/24.  
  Configure BFD over the path. When 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.

Switch A  Vlan-int100  3.0.1.1/24  Switch C  Vlan-int101  3.0.2.2/24 
  Vlan-int200  2.0.1.1/24    Vlan-int201  2.0.2.2/24

Configuration procedure 
1.  Configure IP addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.) 
2.  Configure OSPF to ensure that Switch A and Switch C are reachable to each other. (Details not 
shown.) 
3.  Configure BGP on Switch A:
