3.7.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before adjusting BFD parameters, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment and
complete pre-configuration task for a BFD session, and obtain data required for configuring the
BFD session.
Applicable Environment
After a BFD session is set up, the sending interval, receiving interval, and local detection
multiplier are adjusted on the basis of network status and performance requirements.
The Wait to Recovery (WTR) time for a BFD session is set to prevent frequent master/slave
switchovers caused by BFD session flapping.
The description of a BFD session is added to describe a link monitored by a BFD session.
If none of the preceding parameters is set, the default configurations are used.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before adjusting BFD parameters, you need to set up a BFD session.
Data Preparation
