Congure BFD for Static Routes
BFD oers systems a link state detection mechanism for static routes. With BFD, systems are notied to remove static routes from the
routing table as soon as the link state change occurs, rather than waiting until packets fail to reach their next hop.
Conguring BFD for static routes is a three-step process:
1 Enable BFD globally.
2 Congure static routes on both routers on the system (either local or remote).
3 Congure an IP route to connect BFD on the static routes using the ip route bfd command.
