Configure BFD for Physical Ports
Configuring BFD for physical ports is supported on the C-Series and E-Series platforms only.
BFD on physical ports is useful when you do not enable the routing protocol. Without BFD, if the remote system fails, the local system does
not remove the connected route until the first failed attempt to send a packet. When you enable BFD, the local system removes the route
as soon as it stops receiving periodic control packets from the remote system.
Configuring BFD for a physical port is a two-step process:
1
Enable BFD globally.
2
Establish a session with a next-hop neighbor.

Enabling BFD Globally
You must enable BFD globally on both routers.
To enable the BFD globally, use the following command.

bfd enable
Example of Verifying BFD is Enabled
To verify that BFD is enabled globally, use the
show running bfd
command.
The bold line shows that BFD is enabled.
R1(conf)#bfd ?
enable Enable BFD protocol
protocol-liveness Enable BFD protocol-liveness
R1(conf)#bfd enable
R1(conf)#do show running-config bfd
!
bfd enable
R1(conf)#
Viewing Physical Port Session Parameters
BFD sessions are configured with default intervals and a default role (active). Dell Networking recommends maintaining the default values.
To view session parameters, use the
show bfd neighbors detail
command.
