Establishing Sessions with BGP Neighbors for Default VRF

To establish sessions with either IPv6 or IPv4 BGP neighbors for the default VRF, follow these steps:

1. Enable BFD globally.
   CONFIGURATION mode
   bfd enable
2. Specify the AS number and enter ROUTER BGP configuration mode.
   CONFIGURATION mode
   router bgp as-number
3. Add a BGP neighbor or peer group in a remote AS.
   CONFIG-ROUTERBGP mode
   neighbor {ip-address | peer-group name} remote-as as-number
4. Enable the BGP neighbor.
   CONFIG-ROUTERBGP mode
   neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} no shutdown
5. Add a BGP neighbor or peer group in a remote AS.
   CONFIG-ROUTERBGP mode
   neighbor {ipv6-address | peer-group name} remote-as as-number
6. Enable the BGP neighbor.
   CONFIG-ROUTERBGP mode
   neighbor { ipv6-address | peer-group-name} no shutdown
7. To establish BFD sessions for IPv6 neighbors, specify the address family as IPv6.
   CONFIG-ROUTERBGP mode
   address-family ipv6 unicast
8. Activate the neighbor in IPv6 address family.
   CONFIG-ROUTERBGPv6_ADDRESSFAMILY mode
   neighbor ipv6-address activate
9. Configure parameters for a BFD session established with all neighbors discovered by BGP. Or establish a BFD session with a specified BGP neighbor or peer group using the default BFD session parameters.
   CONFIG-ROUTERBGP mode
   bfd all-neighbors
