Networking Requirements
On the network shown in
, Router A supports BFD but Router B does not. A BFD
session with the one-arm Echo function needs to be configured on Router A to fast detect the
direct link between Router A and Router B. After receiving a BFD packet sent by Router A,
Router B directly loops back the packet, thus achieving fast detection over the link.

Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1.
Configure a BFD session on Router A to detect the direct link between Router A and
Router B.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
l
Peer IP address to which a BFD session with the one-arm Echo function is bound
l
Local discriminator of a BFD session with the one-arm Echo function
l
The minimum interval between the receipt of BFD packets
Procedure
Step 1
Assign IP addresses to the interfaces directly connecting Router A and Router B.
# Assign an IP address to the interface on Router A.
<Huawei>
system-view
[Huawei]
sysname RouterA
[RouterA]
interface gigabitethernet 1/0/0
[RouterA-GigabitEthernet1/0/0]
undo shutdown
[RouterA-GigabitEthernet1/0/0]
ip address 10.1.1.1 24
[RouterA-GigabitEthernet1/0/0]
quit
# Assign an IP address to the interface on Router B.
<Huawei>
