no bfd min-tx transmit-time min-rx receive-time multiplier number

Command Default

The default parameters are used if BFD is enabled.

Parameters

transmit-time: Specifies the interval, in milliseconds, a device waits to send control packets to BFD peers. Valid values range from 50 through 50000 milliseconds. The default is 300.
min-rx receive-time: Specifies the interval, in milliseconds, a device waits to receive control packets from BFD peers. Valid values range from 50 through 50000 milliseconds. The default is 300.
multiplier number: Specifies the number of consecutive BFD control packets that must be missed from a BFD peer before BFD determines that the connection to that peer is down. Valid values range from 2 through 50. The default is 3.

Usage Guidelines

This command is supported for RUCKUS ICX 7750 and ICX 7850 devices.

It is recommended to use the defualt values.

The no form of the command restores the defaults.

Examples

The following example sets the BFD session parameters globally for a BGP instance.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# bfd min-tx 280 min-rx 300 multiplier 3
