bfd-liveness-detection (Protocols RIP)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure bidirectional failure detection timers and authentication.

The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.

Options

authentication algorithm algorithm-name —Configure the algorithm used to authenticate the specified BFD session: simple-password, keyed-md5, keyed-sha-1, meticulous-keyed-md5, or meticulous-keyed-sha-1.

authentication key-chain key-chain-name—Associate a security key with the specified BFD session using the name of the security keychain. The name you specify must match one of the keychains configured in the authentication-key-chains key-chain statement at the [edit security] hierarchy level.

authentication loose-check—(Optional) Configure loose authentication checking on the BFD session. Use only for transitional periods when authentication is not configured at both ends of the BFD session.

detection-time threshold milliseconds—Configure a threshold for the adaptation of the BFD session detection time. When the detection time adapts to a value equal to or greater than the threshold, a single trap and a single system log message are sent.

minimum-interval milliseconds—Configure the minimum interval after which the local routing device transmits a hello packet and then expects to receive a reply from the neighbor with which it has established a BFD session. Optionally, instead of using this statement, you can specify the minimum transmit and receive intervals separately using the transmit-interval minimum-interval and minimum-receive-interval statements.

  • Range: 1 through 255,000 milliseconds

minimum-receive-interval milliseconds—Configure the minimum interval after which the local routing device expects to receive a reply from a neighbor with which it has established a BFD session. Optionally, instead of using this statement, you can configure the minimum receive interval using the minimum-interval statement.

  • Range: 1 through 255,000 milliseconds

multiplier number—Configure the number of hello packets not received by a neighbor that causes the originating interface to be declared down.

  • Range: 1 through 255

  • Default: 3

no-adaptation—Configure BFD sessions not to adapt to changing network conditions. We recommend that you not disable BFD adaptation unless it is preferable not to have BFD adaptation enabled in your network.

transmit-interval threshold milliseconds—Configure the threshold for the adaptation of the BFD session transmit interval. When the transmit interval adapts to a value greater than the threshold, a single trap and a single system message are sent. The interval threshold must be greater than the minimum transmit interval.

  • Range: 0 through 4,294,967,295 (232 – 1)

transmit-interval minimum-interval milliseconds—Configure a minimum interval after which the local routing device transmits hello packets to a neighbor. Optionally, instead of using this statement, you can configure the minimum transmit interval using the minimum-interval statement.

  • Range: 1 through 255,000

version—Configure the BFD version to detect: 1 (BFD version 1) or automatic (autodetect the BFD version).

  • Default: automatic

Required Privilege Level

routing—To view this statement in the configuration.

routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
