Usage Scenario
After BFD for RIP is enabled, the default BFD parameters take effect. The minimum interval at which BFD packets are received and sent are 100 ms, and the detection multiplier is 3.
If the default parameters cannot meet network requirements, run the
bfd all-interfaces command to modify the parameters to change the route convergence speed. If the local end does not receive any BFD packet from its neighbor within the detection period, the local end considers this neighbor Down. The relationships between the parameters and actual intervals or the detection period are as follows:
- Actual interval at which BFD packets are sent on the local end = Max { local min-tx-interval, remote min-rx-interval}
- Actual interval at which BFD packets are received on the local end = Max { remote min-tx-interval, local min-rx-interval}
- Actual detection period = Actual interval at which BFD packets are received on the local end x Remote
Prerequisites
Before running this command, ensure the following operations have been performed:
- Global BFD has been enabled using the bfd command.
- A RIP process has been created and the RIP view has been displayed using the rip command.
- BFD has been enabled on interfaces using the bfd all-interfaces enable command.
Precautions
Parameters set using the rip bfd command in the interface view takes precedence over those set using the bfd all-interfaces command.
