Enabling BFD for OSPF on an Interface
The following procedures describe how to configure BFD for Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) on an interface.
The steps in the procedure are common to the steps for configuring BFD on IS-IS and MPLS-TE; only the
command mode differs.
BFD per interface configuration is supported for OSPF, OSFPv3, IS-IS, and MPLS-TE only. For information
about configuring BFD on an OSPFv3 interface, see
Enabling BFD for OSPFv3 on an Interface

DETAILED STEPS
Purpose
Command or Action
configure
Step 1
(Optional) Enables BFD multipath for the specified bundle
on the interface. This step is required for bundle interfaces.
bfd multipath include locationnode-id
Example:
Step 2
• This step must be repeated for every line
card that has a member link in the bundle
interface.
Note
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# bfd multipath
include location 0/0/CPU0
Enters OSPF configuration mode, allowing you to
configure the OSPF routing process.
router ospf process-name
Example:
Step 3
Use the
show ospf
command in XR EXEC mode to obtain
the process-name for the current router.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router ospf 0
• To configure BFD for IS-IS or MPLS-TE,
enter the corresponding configuration
mode. For example, for MPLS-TE, enter
MPLS-TE configuration mode.
Note
Sets the BFD minimum interval. Range is 15-30000
milliseconds.
