BFD Configuration Mode Commands
The BFD Configuration Mode manages the protocol settings for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD).
BFD provides a low-overhead, short duration method of detecting failures in the forwarding path between two BGP or
OSPF adjacent routers, including the interfaces, data links, and forwarding plane. BFD must be enabled on both routers.
The ASR 5000 and ASR 5500 supports BFD on Layer 3 clients only in asynchronous mode with optional Echo
functionality.
