bfd holdover-interval

This command is supported for ICX 7850 devices only.

If the holdover timer is configured, a protocol is not immediately notified about a session down state. The protocol waits until the period of time configured for the holdover timer has expired. If BFD declares a session up before the configured period of time expires, the holdover timer is cancelled. If the session remains down and the holdover timer expires, the protocol is then notified about the session down state.

Use this command in BGP configuration mode to set the BFD holdover interval globally for BGP. Use this command in OSPF router configuration mode or OSPF router VRF configuration mode to set the BFD holdover interval globally for OSPFv2. Use this command in OSPFv3 router configuration mode or OSPFv3 router VRF configuration mode to set the BFD holdover interval globally for OSPFv3.

The no form of the command removes the configured BFD holdover interval from the configuration and reverts to the default value of 0 so that no holdover interval is configured.
