Disabling BFD for BGP
You can disable BFD for BGP.
To disable a BFD for BGP session with a specied neighbor, use the rst command. To remove the disabled state of a BFD for BGP session
with a specied neighbor, use the no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} bfd disable command in ROUTER
BGP conguration mode.
The BGP link with the neighbor returns to normal operation and uses the BFD session parameters globally congured with the bfd all-
neighbors command or congured for the peer group to which the neighbor belongs.
• Disable a BFD for BGP session with a specied neighbor.
ROUTER BGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} bfd disable
• Remove the disabled state of a BFD for BGP session with a specied neighbor.
ROUTER BGP mode
no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} bfd disable
Use BFD in a BGP Peer Group
You can establish a BFD session for the members of a peer group (the neighbor peer-group-name bfd command in ROUTER BGP
conguration mode).
Members of the peer group may have BFD:
• Explicitly enabled (the neighbor ip-address bfd command)
• Explicitly disabled (the neighbor ip-address bfd disable command)
• Inherited (neither explicitly enabled or disabled) according to the current BFD conguration of the peer group.
If you explicitly enable (or disable) a BGP neighbor for BFD that belongs to a peer group:
• The neighbor does not inherit the BFD enable/disable values congured with the bfd all-neighbors command or congured for
the peer group to which the neighbor belongs.
• The neighbor inherits only the global timer values that are congured with the bfd all-neighbors command (interval, min_rx, and
multiplier).
