How to Configure Bidirectional Forwarding Detection

Disabling BFD Echo Mode Without Asymmetry

The steps in this procedure show how to disable BFD echo mode without asymmetry —no echo packets
will be sent by the switch, and the switch will not forward BFD echo packets that are received from any
neighbor switches.
Repeat the steps in this procedure for each BFD switch.
To disable BFD echo mode without asymmetry, perform this task:
Command or Action
Step 1
enable
Example:
Switch> enable
Step 2
configure terminal
Example:
Switch# configure terminal
Step 3
interface type number
Example:
Switch(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 6/1
Step 4
no bfd echo
Example:
Switch(config-if)# no bfd echo
Step 5
end
Example:
Switch(config-if)# end
