Usage
Information
This command provides the flexibility to fine tune the timer values based on 
individual interface needs when ISIS BFD is configured in CONFIGURATION 
mode. Any timer values specified with this command override timers set using the 
command bfd all-neighbors. Using the no form of this command will not disable 
BFD if BFD is configured in CONFIGURATION mode.
bfd all-neighbors Enable BFD sessions with all neighbors discovered by Layer 3 
protocols IS-IS, OSPF or BFP on router interfaces.
neighbor bfd disable Explicitly disable a BFD session with a BFP neighbor or a BFP peer 
group.
show bfd neighbors Display BFD neighbor information on all interfaces or a specified 
interface.
disable
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword disable to disable BFD on this 
interface.
interval milliseconds
(OPTIONAL) Enter this keyword to specify non-default BFD 
session parameters beginning with the transmission interval.
Range: 50 to 1000
Default: 100
min_rx milliseconds
Enter this keyword to specify the minimum rate at which the local 
system would like to receive control packets from the remote system.
Range: 50 to 100
Default: 100
multiplier value
Enter this keyword to specify the number of packets that must be 
missed in order to declare a session down.
Range: 3 to 50
Default: 3
role [active | passive] Enter the role that the local system assumes:
• Active—The active system initiates the BFD session. Both 
systems can be active for the same session.
• Passive—The passive system does not initiate a session. It only 
responds to a request for session initialization from the active 
system.
Default: Active
