Configuring BFD Session Teardown Based on Echo Latency Detection
You can configure BFD sessions on non-bundle interfaces to bring down a BFD session when it exceeds the
configured echo latency tolerance.
To configure BFD session teardown using echo latency detection, complete the following steps.
Before you enable echo latency detection, be sure that your BFD configuration supports echo mode.
Echo latency detection is not supported on bundle interfaces.

Purpose
Command or Action
configure
Step 1
Enters BFD configuration mode.
bfd
Example:
Step 2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# bfd
Enables echo packet latency detection over the course of a
BFD session, where:
echo latency detect
[
percentage percent-value
[
count
packet-count
]
Step 3
Example:
•
percentage percent-value
—Specifies the percentage
of the echo failure detection time to be detected as bad
latency. The range is 100 to 250. The default is 100.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bfd)# echo latency
detect
•
count packet-count
—Specifies a number of
consecutive packets received with bad latency that will
take down a BFD session. The range is 1 to 10. The
default is 1.

Step 4
Delaying BFD Session Startup Until Verification of Echo Path and Latency
You can verify that the echo packet path is working and within configured latency thresholds before starting
a BFD session on non-bundle interfaces.
Echo startup validation is not supported on bundle interfaces.
