BFD and SBFD configuration overview
General information
BFD configuration consists of the following:
-
creation of a BFD template policy
A BFD template policy defines the fast forwarding path failure detection requirements for BFD packets/sessions such as the transmit/receive timer interval, the minimum echo receive interval, and the number of consecutive BFD messages that can be missed before the BFD session status changes to down.
Configuration of Seamless BFD requires configuration of an SBFD reflector and peer. The reflector is configured in the NE properties and peers are added to the routing instance.
