3.13.1 Example for Configuring Single-hop BFD for a Layer 3
Physical Link
In this example, a single-hop BFD session to detect faults in a Layer 3 physical link is configured
to rapidly check a direct link on a network.
Networking Requirements
On the network shown in
, a single-hop BFD session is configured to detect a directly
connected link between Router A and Router B.

Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1.
Configure a BFD session on Router A to detect the directly-connected link between Router
A and Router B.
2.
Configure a BFD session on Router B to detect the directly-connected link between Router
B and Router A.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
l
Peer IP address for a BFD session
l
Local interface sending and receiving BFD control packets
l
Local and remote discriminators of a BFD session
NOTE
Default values of the minimum sending interval, minimum receiving interval, and local detection multiplier
for BFD control packets are used.
Procedure
Step 1
Configure IP addresses for directly-connected interfaces on Router A and Router B.
# Configure the IP address of the interface on Router A.
