Users Guide

Configuring BFD for OSPFv3 is a two-step process:
1. Enable BFD globally.
2. Establish sessions with OSPFv3 neighbors.

Establishing Sessions with OSPFv3 Neighbors
You can establish BFD sessions with all OSPFv3 neighbors at once or with all neighbors out of a specific interface. Sessions are
only established when the OSPFv3 adjacency is in the Full state.
To establish BFD with all OSPFv3 neighbors or with OSPFv3 neighbors on a single interface, use the following commands.
• Establish sessions with all OSPFv3 neighbors.
ROUTER-OSPFv3 mode
bfd all-neighbors
• Establish sessions with OSPFv3 neighbors on a single interface.
INTERFACE mode
ipv6 ospf bfd all-neighbors
To view the established sessions, use the show bfd neighbors command.
Changing OSPFv3 Session Parameters
Configure BFD sessions with default intervals and a default role.
The parameters that you can configure are: desired tx interval, required min rx interval, detection
multiplier, and system role. Configure these parameters for all OSPFv3 sessions or all OSPFv3 sessions on a particular
interface. If you change a parameter globally, the change affects all OSPFv3 neighbors sessions. If you change a parameter at
the interface level, the change affects all OSPFv3 sessions on that interface.
To change parameters for all OSPFv3 sessions or for OSPFv3 sessions on a single interface, use the following commands.
To view session parameters, use the show bfd neighbors detail command, as shown in the example in Displaying BFD
for BGP Information
