Configuring BFD Bring up Timeout
Perform these steps to configure BFD bring up timeout interval. The default bring up timeout interval is 60
seconds.
Before you begin
BFD must be enabled under MPLS TE tunnel interface.

DETAILED STEPS
Purpose
Command or Action
configure
Step 1
Configures MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS TE) tunnel
interface and enters into MPLS TE tunnel interface
configuration mode.
interface tunnel-te interface-number
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#interface tunnel-te
65535
Step 2
Enables the time interval (in seconds) to wait for the BFD
session to come up.
bfd bringup-timeout seconds
Example:
Step 3
Bring up timeout range is 6 to 3600 seconds. Default bring
up timeout interval is 60 seconds.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)#bfd bringup-timeout
2400

Step 4
What to do next
Configure BFD dampening parameters to bring up the TE tunnel and to avoid signaling churn in the network.
Configuring BFD Dampening for TE Tunnels
When BFD session fails to come up, TE exponentially backs off using the failed path-option to avoid signaling
churn in the network.
Perform these steps to configure dampening intervals to bring the TE tunnel up.
Before you begin
• BFD must be enabled under MPLS TE tunnel interface.
• BFD bring up timeout interval must be configured using the
bfd bringup-timeout
command.
