To view session parameters, use the show bfd neighbors detail command, as shown in the
examples in Displaying BFD for BGP Information
Disabling BFD for Static Routes
If you disable BFD, all static route BFD sessions are torn down.
A final Admin Down packet is sent to all neighbors on the remote systems, and those neighbors change
to the Down state.
To disable BFD for static routes, use the following command.
Disable BFD for static routes.
CONFIGURATION mode
no ip route bfd
Configure BFD for OSPF
When using BFD with OSPF, the OSPF protocol registers with the BFD manager. BFD sessions are
established with all neighboring interfaces participating in OSPF. If a neighboring interface fails, the BFD
agent notifies the BFD manager, which in turn notifies the OSPF protocol that a link state change has
occurred.
Configuring BFD for OSPF is a two-step process:
1. Enable BFD globally.
2. Establish sessions with OSPF neighbors.
