Configuring BFD for Static Routes

Configuring BFD for Static Routes is supported on C-Series and E-Series only.
BFD gives systems a link state detection mechanism for static routes. With BFD, systems are notified to
remove static routes from the routing table as soon as the link state change occurs, rather than having to
wait until packets fail to reach their next hop.
