Configuring Allowable Delays for BFD State Change Notifications Using Timers on a Bundle
The BFD system supports two configurable timers to allow for delays in receipt of BFD SCNs from peers
before declaring a BFD session on a link bundle member down:
• BFD session startup
• BFD configuration removal by a neighbor
For more information about how these timers work and other BFD state change behavior, see the
of BFD State Change Behavior on Member Links and Bundle Status
.
To configure the timers that allow for delays in receipt of BFD SCNs from peers, complete these steps:
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
configure
2.
interface Bundle-Ether

Bundle-POS

bundle-id
3.
bfd address-family ipv4 timers start seconds

DETAILED STEPS
Purpose
Command or Action
configure
Step 1
Enters interface configuration mode for the specified bundle
ID.
interface Bundle-Ether
|
Bundle-POS
]
bundle-id
Example:
Step 2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface
Bundle-Ether 1
Specifies the number of seconds after startup of a BFD
member link session to wait for the expected notification
bfd address-family ipv4 timers start seconds
Example:
Step 3
from the BFD peer to be received, so that the session can
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)#
be declared up. If the SCN is not received after that period
of time, the BFD session is declared down. The range is 60
to 3600.
Specifies the number of seconds to wait after receipt of
notification that BFD configuration has been removed by
bfd address-family ipv4 timers nbr-unconfig seconds
Example:
Step 4
a BFD neighbor, so that any configuration inconsistency
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)#
between the BFD peers can be fixed. If the BFD
configuration issue is not resolved before the specified timer
is reached, the BFD session is declared down. The range is
30 to 3600.
