set protocols bfd profile passive-mode

The set protocols bfd profile passive-mode command configures the BFD session as passive for a profile.

The delete protocols bfd profile passive-mode command sets the configuration to the default value.

Command Syntax

set protocols bfd profile <profile-name> passive-mode

Parameter

Parameter	Description
profile <profile-name>	Specifies the profile name. The value is a string.

Usage Guidelines

A passive session will not attempt to start the connection and will wait for control packets from peers before it begins replying.
This feature is useful when you have a router that acts as a central node in a star network and you want to avoid other BFD nodes sending control packets proactively.

Example

Configure the BFD session as passive.
