    device# configure terminal
  2. Enter the router bgp command to enable BGP routing. 
    device(config)# router bgp
  3. Enter the neighbor bfd command, specifying an IP address, to enable BFD sessions for the neighbor. 
    device(config-bgp-router)# neighbor 10.6.1.1 bfd
  4. Enter the neighbor bfd command, specifying an IP address, with the passive keyword to set the BFD session as passive. 
    device(config-bgp-router)# neighbor 10.6.1.1 bfd passive

The following example configures BFD for a BGP neighbor with the IP address 10.6.1.1 and sets the BFD session as passive. 

device# configure terminal
