Use third-party router configurations for BFD

This page provides examples of third-party router configurations that support Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Cloud Router .

Arista EOS

To configure BFD on an Arista EOS, use the following command (the values shown are examples):

int NAME 
bfd interval 1000 min_rx 1000 multiplier 5

router bgp 65201
  neighbor 169.254.88.81 bfd
  neighbor 169.254.149.193 bfd

For additional Arista BFD configuration settings and examples, see Section 37.2: BFD Configuration in the Arista documentation.

Cisco ASA

For Cisco ASA configuration examples, see Bidirectional Forwarding Detection Routing in the Cisco documentation. The BGP configuration is identical to the IOS/IOS-XE configuration later in this document.

Cisco ASR

To see BFD status, use the following command at the top level of the Cisco AS configuration:

show bfd neighbors 169.254.44.6 details

To configure BFD on a Cisco ASR, use the following command (the values shown are examples):

int NAME 
bfd interval 1000 min_rx 1000 multiplier 5

router bgp 65001
  neighbor 169.254.3.6 fall-over bfd single-hop
  neighbor 169.254.4.6 fall-over bfd single-hop
  neighbor 169.254.33.6 fall-over bfd single-hop
  neighbor 169.254.44.6 fall-over bfd single-hop

For additional Cisco IOS/IOS-XE BFD configuration settings and examples, see BGP Support for BFD in the Cisco documentation.

Cisco IOS-XR

For Cisco IOS-XR configuration examples, see Implementing BFD in the Cisco documentation.

Fortigate

For Fortigate BFD configuration examples, see Technical Note : FortiGate BFD implementation and examples (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection for OSPF and BGP) .

Juniper JunOS

To configure BFD on the Juniper JunOS with BGP, use the following command (the values shown are examples):

protocols {
    bgp {
      group bfdtest-cr-2 {
        bfd-liveness-detection {
          minimum-interval 1000;
        }
        neighbor 192.163.6.4;
        neighbor 192.168.40.4;
        }
      }
    }

For additional Juniper BFD configuration settings and examples, see Example: Configure BFD for BGP in the Juniper documentation.
