Configure a single-hop BFD policy

Configure a single-hop BFD policy on an interface to enable fast failure detection and improve network reliability.

You can configure a single-hop BFD policy only on an interface that belongs to a virtual router. This task is relevant when you need to apply BFD for rapid link failure detection on specific interfaces.

Before you begin

Follow these steps to configure a single-hop BFD policy:

Procedure

Step 1

In the Single-Hop tab, click Add or Edit.

Step 2

In the Add BFD Single-Hop dialog box, configure the following:

  1. In the Interface drop-down list, interfaces belonging to virtual routers are listed. Select the interface you want to configure with the BFD policy.

  2. In the Template Name drop-down list, single-hop templates are listed. Select the template that you want to apply.

    If you have not created a single-hop template, use Add (add icon) and create a single-hop BFD template.

Step 3

Click OK and Save the configuration.

The single-hop BFD policy is applied to the selected interface. The interface will now use the specified BFD template for single-hop operations, enabling rapid failure detection.
