DETAILED STEPS

Configuring Global BFD Parameters
You can configure the BFD session parameters for all BFD sessions on the device. The BFD session
parameters are negotiated between the BFD peers in a three-way handshake.
See the “Configuring BFD on an Interface” section on page 5-9 to override these global session
parameters on an interface.

Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command).
Enable the BFD feature. See the “Enabling the BFD Feature” section on page 5-7.
