Changing OSPFv3 Session Parameters
Configure BFD sessions with default intervals and a default role.
The parameters that you can configure are: desired tx interval, required min rx interval, detection
multiplier, and system role. Configure these parameters for all OSPFv3 sessions or all OSPFv3 sessions on a particular
interface. If you change a parameter globally, the change affects all OSPFv3 neighbors sessions. If you change a parameter at
the interface level, the change affects all OSPFv3 sessions on that interface.
To change parameters for all OSPFv3 sessions or for OSPFv3 sessions on a single interface, use the following commands.
To view session parameters, use the show bfd neighbors detail command, as shown in the example in Displaying BFD
for BGP Information.

● Change parameters for OSPFv3 sessions on a single interface.

Disabling BFD for OSPFv3
If you disable BFD globally, all sessions are torn down and sessions on the remote system are placed in a Down state.
If you disable BFD on an interface, sessions on the interface are torn down and sessions on the remote system are placed in a
Down state. Disabling BFD does not trigger a change in BFD clients; a final Admin Down packet is sent before the session is
terminated.
To disable BFD sessions, use the following commands.
● Disable BFD sessions with all OSPFv3 neighbors.
ROUTER-OSPFv3 mode
no bfd all-neighbors
● Disable BFD sessions with OSPFv3 neighbors on a single interface.
INTERFACE mode
ipv6 ospf bfd all-neighbors disable
Establishing Sessions with OSPFv3 Neighbors
You can establish BFD sessions with all OSPFv3 neighbors at once or with all neighbors out of a specific interface. Sessions are
only established when the OSPFv3 adjacency is in the Full state.
To establish BFD with all OSPFv3 neighbors or with OSPFv3 neighbors on a single interface, use the following commands.
● Establish sessions with all OSPFv3 neighbors.
ROUTER-OSPFv3 mode
bfd all-neighbors
● Establish sessions with OSPFv3 neighbors on a single interface.
INTERFACE mode
ipv6 ospf bfd all-neighbors
To view the established sessions, use the show bfd neighbors command.
