multiplier
value
Enter the keyword multiplier to specify the number of packets that must be
missed in order to declare a session down. The range is from 3 to 50. The default is
3.
role [active |
passive]
Enter the role that the local system assumes:
Active active system initiates the BFD session. Both systems can be active
for the same session.
Passive passive system does not initiate a session. It only responds to a
request for session initialization from the active system.
The default is Active.
Defaults See Parameters.

Usage
Information
This command provides the flexibility to fine-tune the timer values based on individual interface needs
when you configure ipv6 ospf BFD in CONFIGURATION mode. Any timer values specified with this
command overrides timers set using the bfd all-neighbors command. Using the no form of this
command does not disable BFD if you configure BFD in CONFIGURATION mode.
To disable BFD on a specific interface while you configure BFD in CONFIGURATION mode, use the
keyword disable.
ipv6 route bfd
Enable BFD for all IPv6 neighbors configured through static routes.
Syntax
ipv6 route bfd [vrf vrf-name] [prefix-list prefix-list-name] [interval
interval min_rx min_rx multiplier value role {active | passive}]
To disable BFD for all IPv6 neighbors configured through static routes, use the no ipv6 route
bfd [vrf vrf-name] [prefix-list prefix-list-name] [interval interval min_rx
min_rx multiplier value role {active | passive}] command.
Parameters
vrf
vrf-name
(Optional) Enter the keyword vrf and then the name of the VRF to enable or
disable BFD on the next-hop IPv6 neighbor corresponding to that VRF.
prefix-list
prefix-
list-name
(Optional) Enter the keyword prefix-list followed by the name of the prefix
list to enable or disable BFD on specific IPv6 neighbors.
interval
milliseconds
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords interval to specify non-default BFD session
parameters beginning with the transmission interval. The range is from 50 to 1000.
The default is 200.
min_rx
milliseconds
Enter the keywords min_rx to specify the minimum rate at which the local system
receives control packets from the remote system. The range is from 50 to 1000.
The default is 200.
