Configure BFD for VRRP
BFD for VRRP is supported on the Z9000 platform.
When using BFD with VRRP, the VRRP protocol registers with the BFD manager on the route processor
module (RPM). BFD sessions are established with all neighboring interfaces participating in VRRP. If a
neighboring interface fails, the BFD agent on the line card notifies the BFD manager, which in turn
notifies the VRRP protocol that a link state change occurred.
Configuring BFD for VRRP is a three-step process:
1. Enable BFD globally. Refer to Enabling BFD Globally.
2. Establish VRRP BFD sessions with all VRRP-participating neighbors.
3. On the master router, establish a VRRP BFD sessions with the backup routers. Refer to Establishing
Sessions with All VRRP Neighbors.
