Configuring BFD for IPv6 BGP

IPv6 BGP maintains neighbor relationships based on the keepalive timer and holdtime timer, which are
set in seconds. IPv6 BGP defines that the holdtime interval must be at least three times the keepalive
interval. This mechanism makes the detection of a link failure rather slow and thus causes a large
quantity of packets to be dropped especially when the failed link is a high-speed link. You can enable
BFD to detect the link to a peer. BFD can quickly detect any link failure and thus reduce network
convergence time.
After a link failure occurs, BFD may detect the failure before the system performs GR and as a result, GR
will fail. Therefore, if GR capability is enabled for IPv6 BGP, use BFD with caution. For more information
about BFD, see High Availability Configuration Guide.
IMPORTANT:
Before configuring BFD for IPv6 BGP, you must enable BGP.
To enable BFD for a BGP peer:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable BGP and enter BGP
view.
3. Enter IPv6 address family
view.
4. Enable BFD for the specified
BGP peer.
