This command sets up a BFD session between two directly connected neighbors specified by the local interface and the neighbor's IPv6 address. The IPv6 address can be a global or a link-local address. The BFD session parameters can be set on the interface by using the existing command
bfd interval milliseconds min_rx milliseconds multiplier interval-multiplier
This command is supported in IPv6 networks. The maximum number of IP static BFD sessions that can be supported is limited by the max BFD sessions configurable per DUT.
| Format | ipv6 route static bfd interface unit/slot/port | vlan id neighbor ip address [global | link-local] |
| Mode | Global Config |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| interface | Specify the local interface either in unit/slot/port format or as a VLAN ID. |
| neighbor IPv6 address | Specify the other end of the BFD session, peer address. |
Example:
(localhost) #configure (localhost) (Config)#interface 0/29 (localhost) (Interface 0/29)#routing (localhost) (Interface 0/29)#ipv6 address 2001::1/64 (localhost) (Interface 0/29)#bfd interval 100 min_rx 100 multiplier 5 (localhost) (Interface 0/29)#exit (localhost) (Config)#show running-config interface 0/29 !Current Configuration: ! interface 0/29 no shutdown routing ipv6 address 2001::1/64 bfd interval 100 min_rx 100 multiplier 5 exit (localhost) (Config)#ipv6 route static bfd interface 0/29 2001::2
