Configure BFD for Static Routes
Configuring BFD for static routes is supported on the switch.
BFD offers systems a link state detection mechanism for static routes. With BFD, systems are notified to
remove static routes from the routing table as soon as the link state change occurs, rather than waiting until
packets fail to reach their next hop.
Configuring BFD for static routes is a three-step process:
1
Enable BFD globally.
2
Configure static routes on both routers on the system (either local or remote).
3
Configure an IP route to connect BFD on the static routes using the ip route bfd command.
