[SwitchC-bgp] peer 2.0.1.1 as-number 200
# Configure BFD over the link to peer 3.0.1.1 so that when the link Switch A<—>Switch
B<—>Switch C fails, BFD can quickly detect the failure and notify it to BGP, and then the link
Switch A<—>Switch D<—>Switch C takes effect immediately.

Configure BFD parameters (you can use default BFD parameters instead):
6.
# Configure Switch A.
[SwitchA] bfd session init-mode active

Configure the detect multiplier as 7.
[SwitchA-Vlan-interface100] bfd detect-multiplier 7
Configure the BFD authentication mode as plain-text authentication, and set the authentication
key to ibgpbfd.
