Configure BFD for VLANs

BFD on Dell Networking systems is a Layer 3 protocol.

Use BFD with routed virtual local area networks (VLANs). BFD on VLANs is analogous to BFD on physical ports. If you enable the no routing protocol, and a remote system fails, the local system does not remove the connected route until the first failed attempt to send a packet. If you enable BFD, the local system removes the route when it stops receiving periodic control packets from the remote system.

There is one BFD agent for VLANs and port-channels that resides on RP2, as opposed to the other agents that are on the line card. Therefore, the 100 total possible sessions that this agent can maintain is shared for VLANs and port-channels.

Configuring BFD for VLANs is a two-step process:
  1. Enable the BFD globally. Refer to Enabling BFD Globally.
  2. Establish sessions with VLAN neighbors. Refer to Establish Sessions with VLAN Neighbors .
