Configuration Example: BFD for IP Static Routes Multi-hop Session

The following figure shows a multi-hop static BFD session.

Multi-hop Static BFD Session

The following configuration example configures a multi-hop static BFD session as illustrated in the preceding figure. Router 1 has a static route to 10.20.20.20/24 with the next hop as 10.0.0.2/24. A multi-hop BFD session is configured with 10.0.0.1 specified as the local source IP address to use for the multi-hop BFD session. BFD session parameters are also configured. Router 2 has a static route to 10.10.10.10/24 with the next hop as 10.0.0.1. A multi-hop BFD session is configured with 10.0.0.2 specified as the local source IP address to use for the multi-hop BFD session. BFD session parameters are also configured, and the BFD holdover timer is set.
