Configuring BFD for IPv6 IS-IS

Bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) can quickly detect faults between IPv6 IS-IS neighbors to improve the convergence speed of IPv6 IS-IS. For more information about BFD, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

To configure BFD for IPv6 IS-IS:

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. Enable an IS-IS process and enter IS-IS view.

isis [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

N/A

3. Configure the NET for the IS-IS process.

network-entity net

By default, no NET is configured.

4. Enable IPv6 for the IS-IS process.

ipv6 enable

By default, IPv6 for the IS-IS process is disabled.

5. Return to system view.

quit

N/A

6. Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

N/A

7. Enable IPv6 for IS-IS on the interface.

isis ipv6 enable [ process-id ]

By default, IPv6 is disabled for IS-IS on an interface.

8. Enable BFD for IPv6 IS-IS.

isis ipv6 bfd enable

By default, BFD for IPv6 IS-IS is disabled.
