isis bfd

Function

The isis bfd command sets values of BFD session parameters on a specified IS-IS interface.

The undo isis bfd command restores the default values of BFD session parameters on a specified IS-IS interface.

By default, BFD session parameters use default values.

Only the S5720-EI, S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-H, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6720-EI, S6720-HI, S6720S-EI, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, and S6730S-S support this command.

Format

isis bfd { min-rx-interval receive-interval | min-tx-interval transmit-interval | detect-multiplier multiplier-value | frr-binding } *

undo isis bfd { min-rx-interval [ receive-interval ] | min-tx-interval [ transmit-interval ] | detect-multiplier [ multiplier-value ] | frr-binding } *

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
min-rx-interval receive-interval Specifies the minimum interval for receiving BFD packets from the peer end.
The value is an integer that ranges from 100 to 1000, in milliseconds.
  • After the set service-mode enhanced command is configured on the S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-H, S5731S-S, and S6720-HI, the value ranges from 3 to 1000.
  • After the set service-mode enhanced-bfd command is configured on the S5732-H, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, and S6730S-S, the value ranges from 3 to 1000.
min-tx-interval transmit-interval Specifies the minimum interval for transmitting BFD packets to the peer end.
The value is an integer that ranges from 100 to 1000, in milliseconds.
  • After the set service-mode enhanced command is configured on the S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-H, S5731S-S, and S6720-HI, the value ranges from 3 to 1000.
  • After the set service-mode enhanced-bfd command is configured on the S5732-H, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, and S6730S-S, the value ranges from 3 to 1000.
detect-multiplier multiplier-value Specifies the local detection multiplier. The value is an integer that ranges from 3 to 50. The default value is 3.
frr-binding Binds the BFD session status to IS-IS Auto FRR. When BFD detects the link fault on an interface, the BFD session goes Down, triggering FRR on the interface. After that, the traffic is switched from the faulty link to the backup link, which protects the traffic. -

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

BFD can quickly detect faults on links. Configure proper parameters based on the actual network situation to improve the IS-IS convergence speed when network faults occur. You can use the isis bfd command to change BFD session parameters such as the minimum interval for sending BFD packets, minimum interval for receiving BFD packets, and local detection multiplier.

In an IS-IS process, after IS-IS establishes a BFD session, the value of receive-interval is obtained after the negotiation of the local min-rx-interval value and the remote min-tx-interval value. If no BFD packet is received from the peer end within the specified period (receive-interval x multiplier-value), the neighbor is considered Down.

Negotiation principle: Actual interval for the local device to receive BFD packets = MAX {local min-rx-interval value, remote min-tx-interval value}

Prerequisites

BFD has been enabled globally. In the interface view, IS-IS has been enabled and BFD has been enabled on the interface using the isis bfd enable command.

Precautions

The BFD priority of the interface is higher than that of the process. If BFD of the interface is enabled, the BFD session is set up based on the BFD parameters on the interface.

Example

# Enable BFD on VLANIF100 and set the minimum receive interval to 600 ms and local detection multiplier to 4.
