Configuring BFD for OSPFv3 Globally

BFD can be enabled globally for all OSPFv3-enabled interfaces for a VRF. The following task enables BFD globally on all OSPFv3 interfaces with default session parameters, and sets the BFD holdover interval.
  1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enter the ipv6 router ospf command to enter OSPFv3 router configuration mode and enable OSPFv3 on the device. 
    device(config)# ipv6 router ospf
  3. Enter the bfd command to enable BFD globally with default session parameters on OSPFv3 interfaces. 
    device(config-ospf6-router)# bfd
  4. Enter the bfd command with the holdover-interval keyword, specifying a value, to set the BFD holdover interval globally. 
    device(config-ospf6-router)# bfd holdover-interval 10

The following example enables BFD globally on all OSPFv3 interfaces with default session parameters, and sets the BFD holdover interval to 12 seconds. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 router ospf 
device(config-ospf6-router)# bfd
device(config-ospf6-router)# bfd holdover-interval 12
