Congure BFD sessions with all neighbors discovered by the BGP in ROUTER-BGP mode. The BFD session parameters you congure
override the global session parameters congured in Step 1.
bfd all-neighbors [interval milliseconds min_rx milliseconds multiplier number role {active
| passive}]
•
interval milliseconds — Enter the time interval for sending control packets to BFD peers, from 100 to 1000; default 200.
Dell EMC recommends using more than 100 milliseconds.
• min_rx milliseconds — Enter the maximum waiting time for receiving control packets from BFD peers, from 100 to 1000;
default 200. Dell EMC recommends using more than 100 milliseconds.
• multiplier number — Enter the maximum number of consecutive packets that are not received from a BFD peer before the
session state changes to
Down, from 3 to 50; default 3.
• role {active | passive} — Enter active if the router initiates BFD sessions. Both BFD peers can be active at the same
time. Enter passive if the router does not initiate BFD sessions, and only responds to a request from an active BFD to initialize a
session. The default is active.
To ignore the congured bfd all-neighbors settings for a specied neighbor, enter the bfd disable command in ROUTER-
NEIGHBOR mode.
OR
Enter a BGP template with neighborhood name in ROUTER-BGP mode. Congure BFD sessions with all neighbors which inherit the
template in ROUTER-TEMPLATE mode. For more information on how to use BGP templates, see Peer templates. The global BFD
session parameters congured in Step 1 are used.
