Changing VRRP Session Parameters
BFD sessions are congured with default intervals and a default role.
The parameters that you can congure are: Desired TX Interval, Required Min RX Interval, Detection Multiplier, and system role. You can
change parameters for all VRRP sessions or for a particular neighbor.
To change parameters for all VRRP sessions or for a particular VRRP session, use the following commands.
• Change parameters for all VRRP sessions.
INTERFACE mode
vrrp bfd all-neighbors interval milliseconds min_rx milliseconds multiplier value role [active
| passive]
• Change parameters for a particular VRRP session.
INTERFACE mode
vrrp bfd neighbor ip-address interval milliseconds min_rx milliseconds multiplier value role
[active | passive]
To view session parameters, use the show bfd neighbors detail command, as shown in the example in Verifying BFD Sessions
with BGP Neighbors Using the
show bfd neighbors command example in Displaying BFD for BGP Information.
Disabling BFD for VRRP
If you disable any or all VRRP sessions, the sessions are torn down.
A nal Admin Down control packet is sent to all neighbors and sessions on the remote system change to the Down state.
