Disabling a BFD Session for a BGP Neighbor

BFD sessions can be disabled for BGP neighbors or peer groups. The following task disables BFD for a BGP neighbor with the IPv6 address 2001:2018:8192::124.
  1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enter the router bgp command to enable BGP routing. 
    device(config)# router bgp
  3. Enter the address-family ipv6 unicast command to enter BGP address-family IPv6 unicast configuration mode. 
    device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
  4. Enter the neighbor bfd command, specifying an IPv6 address, with the disable keyword to disable BFD for the BGP neighbor. 
    device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# neighbor 2001:2018:8192::124 bfd disable

The following example disables BFD for a BGP neighbor with the IPv6 address 2001:2018:8192::124. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# neighbor 2001:2018:8192::124 bfd disable
