To do...
Enter system view
Enter BGP view
Enable BFD for the specified BGP
peer
At present, you can configure BFD for IPv4 BGP neighbors only.
If GR capability is enabled for BGP, use BFD with caution.
For BGP configuration, refer to BGP Configuration in the IP Routing Volume.
Configuring BFD for VRRP
To configure BFD for VRRP, you need to configure a BFD track entry and then bind the track entry to a
VRRP group.
Track starts and stops the BFD session. Upon detecting a neighbor failure, BFD notifies Track of the
failure. Then, Track notifies it to VRRP for quick VRRP master/backup switchover.
Before associating a VRRP group with a track entry, you need to create the VRRP group on the
interface and assign a virtual IP address to it.
Follow these steps to configure BFD for VRRP:
To do...
Enter system view
Configure the source
address of echo packets
Configure a BFD track
entry
Enter interface view
Bind a VRRP group with
the Track entry
Use the command...
