This command sets up a BFD session between two directly connected neighbors specified by the local interface and the neighbor's IP 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 IPv4 networks. The maximum number of IP static BFD sessions that can be supported is limited by the maximum BFD sessions configurable per DUT.
| Format | ip route static bfd interface unit/slot/port | vlan id neighbor ip address |
| Mode | Global Config |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| interface | Specify the local interface either in unit/slot/port format or as a VLAN ID. |
| neighbor IP 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)#ip address 1.1.1.1 /24 (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 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 bfd interval 100 min_rx 100 multiplier 5 exit (localhost) (Config)#ip route static bfd interface 0/29 1.1.1.2
