set protocols bfd multihop peer local-address detect-multiplier
The set protocols bfd multihop peer local-address detect-multiplier command configures the detection multiplier to determine packet loss for a multi-hop BFD session.
The delete protocols bfd multihop peer local-address detect-multiplier command sets the configuration to the default value.
Command Syntax
set protocols bfd multihop [vrf <vrf-name>] peer<peer-ip> local-address <local-ip> detect-multiplier <MULTIPLIER>
Parameter
Parameter | Description |
vrf <vrf-name> | Optional. Specifies a VRF name. The value is a string. It’s a user-defined VRF set by the command set ip vrf <vrf-name> [description <string>]. |
peer <peer-ip> | Specifies the peer for a BFD session. The value is an IPv4 or IPv6 address. |
local-address <local-ip> | Specifies a local address used to send the packets. The value is an IPv4 or IPv6 address. |
detect-multiplier <MULTIPLIER> | Specifies the BFD detection multiplier. The value is an integer that ranges from 2 to 255. The default value is 3. |
Usage Guidelines
The remote transmission interval will be multiplied by this value to determine the connection loss detection timer.
Example: when the local system has detect-multiplier 3 and the remote system has transmission interval 300, the local system will detect failures only after 900 milliseconds without receiving packets.
Example
Configure the BFD detection multiplier to 4 for BFD peer 2.2.2.2 for a multi-hop BFD session.
