BFD for BGP

In a BGP core network, BFD enables faster network reconvergence. BFD rapidly detects communication failures in BGP fast-forwarding paths between internal BGP (iBGP) and external BGP (eBGP) peers. BFD for BGP is supported on physical, port-channel, and VLAN interfaces. BFD for BGP does not support the BGP multihop feature.

Before configuring BFD for BGP, first configure BGP on the interconnecting routers. For more information, see Border Gateway Protocol.

NOTE: When you clear the BGP instance or flaps VLT interconnect (VLTi) interface, the BFD sessions goes down and comes back up. This happens when the default timer is set to 200ms and multiplier as 3. You can avoid this by customizing the timer to 200ms and multiplier as 6.
