Configuring BFD for an IPv6 Static Route

BFD can be configured globally on IPv6 static routes. The following task configures BFD session parameters on an IPv6 static route where the destination IPv6 address is 2001:2018::8192:125/64 and the next IP address is 2001:1::3:1. BFD session timer values are also configured.
  1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enter the ipv6 route command with the bfd keyword, specifying a destination IPv6 address and a next-hop IPv6 address, to configure BFD for the IPv6 static route. 
    device(config)# ipv6 route 2001:2018::8192:125/64 2001:1::3:1 bfd
  3. Enter the ipv6 route bfd command and specify an IPv6 address to configure a BFD session on the IPv6 static route. 
    device(config)# ipv6 route bfd 2001:1::3:1
  4. Enter the ipv6 route bfd command with the min-tx, min-rx, and multiplier keywords, specifying the required intervals, to configure BFD session parameters for the IPv6 static route. 
    device(config)# ipv6 route bfd 2001:1::3:1 min-tx 280 min-rx 280 multiplier 3
  5. Enter the ipv6 route bfd holdover-interval command, and enter a value, to configure the BFD holdover interval for the IPv6 static route. 
    device(config)# ipv6 route bfd holdover-interval 10

The following example enables BFD and configures BFD session parameters on an IPv6 static route where the destination IPv6 address is 2001:2018::8192:125/64 and the next-hop IPv6 address is 2001:1::3:1. BFD session timer values are also configured. The holdover timer is also set. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 route 2001:2018::8192:125/64 2001:1::3:1 bfd
device(config)# ipv6 route bfd 2001:1::3:1
device(config)# ipv6 route bfd 2001:1::3:1 min-tx 280 min-rx 280 multiplier 3
device(config)# ipv6 route bfd holdover-interval 10

The following task enables BFD and configures BFD session parameters on an IPv6 static route where the destination IPv6 address is 2001:1::3:1/64 and the next-hop link-local IPv6 address is fe80::a. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 route 2001:1::3:1/64 bfd
device(config)# ipv6 route bfd 2001:1::3:1 fe80::a

The following example configures a BFD session for an IPv6 static route in a nondefault VRF instance. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 route vrf red bfd 2001:1::3:1
