Usage Information
When you enable a BFD session with a specied 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 specied 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 congured with the bfd neighbor command or
congured for the peer group to which the neighbor belongs.
