Figure 7-12. Viewing Established Sessions for OSPF Neighbors
Changing OSPF session parameters
BFD sessions are configured with default intervals and a default role. The parameters that can be
configured are: Desired TX Interval, Required Min RX Interval, Detection Multiplier, and system role.
These parameters are configured for all OSPF sessions or all OSPF sessions on a particular interface; if
you change a parameter globally, the change affects all OSPF neighbors sessions. If you change a
parameter at interface level, the change affects all OSPF sessions on that interface.
To change parameters for all OSPF sessions:
