Configuring a BFD template
Perform this task to specify BFD parameters in a template for sessions without next hops. You can configure BFD parameters for LSPs and PWs through a BFD template.
To configure a BFD template:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Create a BFD template and enter BFD template view. | bfd template template-name | By default, no BFD templates exist. |
3. Configure the authentication mode for BFD control packets. | bfd authentication-mode { m-md5 | m-sha1 | md5 | sha1 | simple } key-id { cipher cipher-string | plain plain-string } | By default, no authentication is performed. BFD version 0 does not support this command. The configuration does not take effect. |
4. Set the detection time multiplier. | bfd detect-multiplier value | The default setting is 5. |
5. Set the minimum interval for receiving BFD control packets. | bfd min-receive-interval interval | The default setting is 500 milliseconds. |
6. Set the minimum interval for transmitting BFD control packets. | bfd min-transmit-interval interval | The default setting is 500 milliseconds. |
