set protocols bfd peer detect-multiplier

The set protocols bfd peer detect-multiplier command configures the detection multiplier to determine packet loss for a single-hop BFD session.

The delete protocols bfd peer detect-multiplier command sets the configuration to the default value.

Command Syntax

set protocols bfd [vrf <vrf-name>] [interface<interface-name>] peer<peer-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>].
interface<interface-name>	Optional. Specifies the egress interface for BFD packets. The value is an L3 interface that can be the VLAN interface name, the loopback interface name, the routed interface or the sub-interface name. The value is a string. If not specified, the system will search the route table for the outgoing interface.
peer <peer-ip>	Specifies the peer for a BFD session. 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.
