BFD In OSPF¶
With BFD usage in OSPF, the failover mechanism is greatly improved by detecting
the loss of remote OSPF neighbors. Instead of relying on standard hello
mechanisms,
BFD permits faster convergence.
To get more information on BFD, please see BFD.
BFD Configuration And Monitoring In OSPF¶
A BFD peer session context is created, along with discovering OSPF neighbors.
Due to the nature of OSPF, all created BFD peer contexts are single-hop
.
vrf customer1
routing ospf
router-id 10.125.0.1
.. ..
routing interface eth1_0
ip ospf area 0.0.0.1
ip ospf track bfd
Then you can continue the configuration as usual. For timer settings, the default emission and reception settings are set to 300000 microseconds, which may not be what is wished. In that case, it is possible to override default timers, by configuring general timer settings. More information is given in Configuring general BFD settings.
