Configure BFD for Physical Ports

Configuring BFD for physical ports is supported on the C-Series and E-Series platforms only.

Related Configuration Tasks

BFD on physical ports is useful when you do not enable the routing protocol. Without BFD, if the remote system fails, the local system does not remove the connected route until the first failed attempt to send a packet. When you enable BFD, the local system removes the route as soon as it stops receiving periodic control packets from the remote system.
Configuring BFD for a physical port is a two-step process:
  1. Enable BFD globally.
  2. Establish a session with a next-hop neighbor.
