BFD configuration

Before you configure BFD for a routing protocol, first enable BFD globally on both routers in the link. BFD is disabled by default.

  • OS10 does not support Demand mode, authentication, and Echo function.
  • OS10 does not support BFD on multihop and virtual links.
  • OS10 supports protocol liveness only for routing protocols.
  • OS10 BFD is supported in default and nondefault VRF for the following protocols: Static route (v4 and v6), OSPFv2, OSPFv3, BGPv4, and BGPv6.
NOTE: Dell Technologies recommends that:
  • For the S4100-ON series platform, you configure a BFD interval of 500 milliseconds with multiplier of 3 or higher for multidimensional scaled configurations.
  • For other series switches, you configure a BFD interval of 200 milliseconds with a multiplier of 4 or higher for multidimensional scaled configurations.
