Using BFD

For BFD to function fully, the BFD session status must be consumed by other interested parties. Currently this can be BGP, OSPF, or OSPF6.

BGP:

BFD can be enabled for specific BGP neighbors using the BFD options for BGP neighbors.

OSPF/OSPF6:

BFD can be enabled for OSPF and OSPF6 by using the appropriate OSPF interface BFD option or OSPF6 interface BFD option.
