Configuring BFD for BGP
IMPORTANT:
If you have enabled GR, use BFD with caution because BFD might detect a failure before the system
performs GR, which will result in GR failure. If you have enabled both BFD and GR for BGP, do not disable
BFD during a GR process to avoid GR failure.
BGP maintains neighbor relationships based on the keepalive timer and hold timer in seconds. It requires
that the hold time must be at least three times the keepalive interval. This mechanism makes link failure
detection slow. Once a failure occurs on a high-speed link, a large quantity of packets will be dropped
before routing convergence completes. BFD for BGP can solve this problem by fast detecting link failures
to reduce convergence time.
For more information about BFD, see High Availability Configuration Guide.
Before you can enable BFD for the BGP peer, establish a BGP session between the local router and the
peer.
To enable BFD for a BGP peer (IPv4):
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN
instance view.
• Enter BGP view:
bgp as-number
• Enter BGP-VPN instance view:
a. bgp as-number
b. ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name
N/A
3. Enable BFD to detect the link to the
specified BGP peer.
peer ip-address bfd [ multi-hop |
single-hop ] By default, BFD is
not enabled.
To enable BFD for a BGP peer (IPv6):
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN
instance view.
• Enter BGP view:
bgp as-number
• Enter BGP-VPN instance view:
a. bgp as-number
b. ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name
N/A
3. Enable BFD to detect the link to the
specified IPv6 BGP peer.
peer ipv6-address bfd [ multi-hop |
single-hop ] By default, BFD is
not enabled.
