bfd enable (MPLS TE P2MP template view)

Function

The bfd enable command enables BFD for P2MP TE.

The undo bfd enable command disables BFD for P2MP TE.

By default, the minimum interval at which BFD packets are sent is 10 ms, the minimum interval at which BFD packets are received is 10 ms, and the local detection multiplier is 3.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If P2MP TE tunnels are established to transmit NG MVPN and multicast VPLS services, BFD for P2MP TE can be configured to rapidly detect faults in P2MP TE tunnels, which improves network reliability. To configure BFD for P2MP TE, run the bfd enable command in the P2MP tunnel template view so that BFD sessions for P2MP TE can be automatically established while P2MP TE tunnels are being established.

To set BFD parameters, run the bfd command. The parameters include the minimum interval at which BFD packets are sent, the minimum interval at which BFD packets are received, and the BFD detection multiplier.

Effective local interval at which BFD packets are sent = MAX { Locally configured interval at which BFD packets are sent, Remotely configured interval at which BFD packets are received }
Effective local interval at which BFD packets are received = MAX { Remotely configured interval at which BFD packets are sent, Locally configured interval at which BFD packets are received }
Local BFD detection period = Effective local interval at which BFD packets are received x Remotely configured BFD detection multiplier
The detection multiplier is the maximum number of BFD packets dropped before a BFD peer is declared Down.

Prerequisites

A P2MP tunnel template has been configured using the mpls te p2mp-template command.

BFD has been globally enabled using the bfd command.
