Version Description
9.11(2.5) Introduced the ipv6 route bfd command on the Z9100–ON.
Example
DellEMC(conf)#ipv6 route bfd
DellEMC(conf)#ipv6 route bfd vrf vrf1 prefix-list p6_le
neighbor bfd
Explicitly enable or disable a BFD session with a BGP neighbor or a BGP peer group.
Syntax
neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} bfd
Parameters
ip-address Enter the IP address of the BGP neighbor that you want to explicitly enable for BFD
sessions in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
peer-group-name Enter the name of the peer group that you want to explicitly enable for BFD sessions.
Defaults None
Command Modes ROUTER BGP

Version Description

S5000, S6000, S6000–ON, S6010–ON, S6100–ON, C9010, Z9500, and Z9100–ON.

Usage Information
When you enable a BFD session with a specified BGP neighbor or peer group using the bfd neighbor
command, the default BFD session parameters are used (interval: 200 milliseconds, min_rx: 200 milliseconds,
multiplier:
3 packets, and role: active) if you have not specified parameters with the bfd neighbor command.
When you explicitly enable a BGP neighbor for a BFD session with the bfd neighbor command:
• The neighbor does not inherit the global BFD enable values configured with the bfd neighbor command or
configured for the peer group to which the neighbor belongs.
• The neighbor only inherits the global timer values configured with the bfd neighbor command: interval,
min_rx, and multiplier.
