Configuring Periodic LSP Ping Requests
Perform this task to configure sending periodic LSP ping requests with BFD TLV, after BFD session comes
up.
Before you begin
BFD must be enabled under MPLS TE tunnel interface.
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
configure
2.
interface tunnel-te interface-number
3.
Use one of these commands:
•
bfd lsp-ping interval 300
4.

DETAILED STEPS
Purpose
Command or Action
configure
Step 1
Configures MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS TE) tunnel
interface and enters into MPLS TE tunnel interface
configuration mode.
interface tunnel-te interface-number
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#interface tunnel-te
65535
Step 2
Sets periodic interval for LSP ping requests or disables LSP
ping requests.
Use one of these commands:
Step 3
•
bfd lsp-ping interval 300
•
interval seconds
—Sets periodic LSP ping request
interval in seconds. The interval range is 60 to 3600
seconds. Default interval is 120 seconds.
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)#bfd lsp-ping
interval 300
•
disable
—Disables periodic LSP ping requests.
Or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)#bfd lsp-ping
disable
Periodic LSP ping request is enabled by default. The default
interval for ping requests is 120 seconds. BFD paces LSP
ping to be under 50 ping per seconds (PPS). Thus ping
interval is honored; however, this is not guaranteed unless
configuring an interval between 60 and 3600 seconds.
