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 you configure BFD for IPv6 BGP, you must enable BGP.
To enable BFD for a BGP peer:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
Enable BGP and enter BGP

Enter IPv6 address family
