The 'BFD Profile' configuration is introduced into the AD profiles configuration to detect failures on any bidirectional forwarding path, such as direct physical link, and between network devices.
The BFD feature is used by remote end points or routers to continuously monitor availability of the SBC interfaces. BFD functionality is defined in RFCs 5880, 5881.
The BFD profile is added to the CLI. Use the following command to create a BFD Profile.
% set profiles bfdProfile <BFD Profile Name> defaultDetectionTimeout <value, in seconds> detectionMultiplier <value> dscpValue <DSCP value> isMultiHop <false | true> minTxInterval <value, as milliseconds> minRxInterval <value, as milliseconds> remoteIP <remoteIP address> state <disabled | enabled>
set profiles bfdProfile bfd11 defaultDetectionTimeout 20 detectionMultiplier 3 dscpValue 48 isMultiHop false minTxInterval 1000 minRxInterval 1000 remoteIP 10.xx.xx.xx4 state enabled
