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.
Change parameters for all OSPFv3 sessions.
ROUTER-OSPFv3 mode
bfd all-neighbors interval milliseconds min_rx milliseconds multiplier value role [active
| passive]
Change parameters for OSPFv3 sessions on a single interface.
INTERFACE mode
ipv6 ospf bfd all-neighbors interval milliseconds min_rx milliseconds multiplier value
role [active | passive]
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
Configure BFD for IS-IS
When using BFD with IS-IS, the IS-IS protocol registers with the BFD manager on the RPM. BFD sessions are then established
with all neighboring interfaces participating in IS-IS. If a neighboring interface fails, the BFD agent on the line card notifies the
BFD manager, which in turn notifies the IS-IS protocol that a link state change occurred.
Configuring BFD for IS-IS is a two-step process:
1. Enable BFD globally.
2. Establish sessions for all or particular IS-IS neighbors.
