Changing OSPF 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 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 the
interface level, the change affects all OSPF sessions on that interface.
To change parameters for all OSPF sessions or for OSPF sessions on a single interface, use the following commands.
Change parameters for OSPF sessions.
ROUTER-OSPF mode
bfd all-neighbors interval milliseconds min_rx milliseconds multiplier value role [active
| passive]
Change parameters for all OSPF sessions on an interface.
INTERFACE mode
ip ospf bfd all-neighbors interval milliseconds min_rx milliseconds multiplier value role
[active | passive]
To view session parameters, use the show bfd neighbors detail command.
Disabling BFD for OSPF
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 OSPF neighbors.
