Configuring BFD basic functions
Before configuring BFD basic functions, configure the network layer addresses of the interfaces so that
adjacent nodes are reachable to each other at the network layer.
After a BFD session is established, the two ends negotiate BFD parameters, including minimum sending
interval, minimum receiving interval, initialization mode, and packet authentication, by exchanging
negotiation packets. They use the negotiated parameters without affecting the session status.
Configuring echo packet mode
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Configure the source IP
address of echo packets.
•
Configure the source IP address
of echo packets:
bfd echo-source-ip ip-address
•
Configure the source IPv6
address of echo packets:
bfd echo-source-ipv6
ipv6-address
Use either command.
By default, no source IP address is
configured for echo packets.
The source IP address cannot be on
the same network segment as any
local interface's IP address.
Otherwise, a large number of
ICMP redirect packets might be
sent from the peer, resulting in link
congestion.
The source IPv6 address of echo
packets can only be a global
unicast address.
3.
Enter interface view.

N/A
4.
(Optional.) Configure the
minimum interval for receiving
BFD echo packets.
bfd min-echo-receive-interval
value
The default setting is 400
milliseconds.
5.
(Optional.) Configure the
single-hop detection time
multiplier.
bfd detect-multiplier value
The default setting is 5.
