Version Description
7.5.1.0 Introduced BFD for ISIS on the E-Series.
7.4.1.0 Introduced BFD for OSPF on the E-Series.
Usage Information
All neighbors inherit the timer values congured with the bfd neighbor command except in the following cases:
Timer values congured with the isis bfd all-neighbors or ip ospf bfd all-neighbors
commands in INTERFACE mode override timer values congured with the bfd neighbor command.
Likewise, using the no bfd neighbor command does not disable BFD on an interface if you explicitly enable
BFD using the isis bfd all-neighbors command.
Neighbors that have been explicitly enabled or disabled for a BFD session with the bfd neighbor or
neighbor bfd disable commands in ROUTER BGP mode do not inherit the global BFD enable/disable
values congured with the bfd neighbor command or congured for the peer group to which a neighbor
belongs. The neighbors inherit only the global timer values (congured with the bfd neighbor command).
You can only enable BFD for VRRP in INTERFACE command mode (vrrp bfd all-neighbors).
You can enable BFD on a nondefault VRF for OSPFv2.
bfd enable (Conguration)
Enable BFD on all interfaces.
Syntax
bfd enable
Disable BFD using the no bfd enable command.
Defaults BFD is disabled by default.
