Configuring BFD BFD Application Example
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network Configuration Guide December 2017 page 20-33
BFD Application Example
This section provides an example network configuration in which BFD is associated with the OSPF
protocol running on the network. In addition, a tutorial is also included that provides steps on how to
configure the example network topology using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Example Network Overview
The diagram below represents a simple OSPF network consisting of three routers. On all three routers,
OSPF is associated with BFD for faster failure detection of any router on the network.
Example OSPF Network using the BFD Protocol
The following steps are used to configure the example BFD-enabled OSPF network as shown in the
diagram above.
Note. Configuring a BFD session explicitly with an IP interface name on individual routers is optional, and
must be used if user defined BFD session parameters need to be applied. All the steps for explicit
configuration are mentioned as optional.
