Usage Scenario
BFD can provide millisecond-level fault detection, help IS-IS to detect the faults that occur on neighboring devices or links more quickly, and instruct IS-IS to recalculate routes for correct packet forwarding. The ipv6 bfd all-interfaces command can be used to configure parameters for IPv6 BFD sessions.
Prerequisites
BFD has been enabled globally, An IS-IS process has been created, the IS-IS process has been enabled on a specified interface, and IPv6 BFD has been enabled in the IS-IS process.
Configuration Impact
The minimum interval at which IPv6 BFD packets are received is obtained after the receive-interval value and the remote transmit-interval value are compared. If the local end does not receive any BFD packet from its neighbor within the period (minimum receiving interval x multiplier-value), the local end declares the neighbor Down.
Precautions
If only IPv6 BFD session parameters are configured but the ipv6 bfd all-interfaces enable command is not run, no IPv6 BFD sessions can be established.
The priority of BFD configured on an interface is higher than that of BFD configured in a process. If IPv6 BFD is enabled on an interface, IPv6 BFD sessions are established with the BFD parameters set on the interface.
