BFD for IPv6 BGP configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 71, configure OSPFv3 as the IGP in AS 200.
Establish two IBGP connections between Switch A and Switch C. When both paths are working, Switch C adopts the path Switch A<—>Switch B<—>Switch C to exchange packets with network 1200::0/64. Configure BFD over the path. Then if the path fails, BFD can quickly detect the failure and notify it to IPv6 BGP. Then the path Switch A<—>Switch D<—>Switch C takes effect immediately.

Configuration procedure
Configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.)
Configure OSPFv3 so that Switch A and Switch C can reach each other. (Details not shown.)
Configure IPv6 BGP on Switch A:

# Create two route policies, apply_med_50 and apply_med_100. Policy apply_med_50 sets the MED for route 1200::0/64 to 50. Policy apply_med_100 sets that to 100.

# Enable BFD for peer 3001::3.
[SwitchA-bgp] peer 3001::3 bfd [SwitchA-bgp] quit
Configure IPv6 BGP on Switch C:
# Establish two IBGP connections to Switch A.
<SwitchC> system-view [SwitchC] bgp 200 [SwitchC-bgp] router-id 3.3.3.3 [SwitchC-bgp] peer 3000::1 as-number 200 [SwitchC-bgp] peer 2000::1 as-number 200 [SwitchC-bgp] address-family ipv6 [SwitchC-bgp-ipv6] peer 3000::1 enable [SwitchC-bgp-ipv6] peer 2000::1 enable [SwitchC-bgp-ipv6] quit
# Enable BFD for peer 3001::1.
[SwitchC-bgp] peer 3000::1 bfd [SwitchC-bgp] quit [SwitchC] quit
