ce_bfd_global - Manages BFD global configuration on HUAWEI CloudEngine devices.

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
bfd_enable
    Choices:
  • enable
  • disable
Enables the global Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) function.
damp_init_wait_time
Specifies an initial flapping suppression time for a BFD session. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 3600000, in milliseconds. The default value is 2000.
damp_max_wait_time
Specifies a maximum flapping suppression time for a BFD session. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 3600000, in milliseconds. The default value is 15000.
damp_second_wait_time
Specifies a secondary flapping suppression time for a BFD session. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 3600000, in milliseconds. The default value is 5000.
default_ip
Specifies the default multicast IP address. The value ranges from 224.0.0.107 to 224.0.0.250.
delay_up_time
Specifies the delay before a BFD session becomes Up. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 600, in seconds. The default value is 0, indicating that a BFD session immediately becomes Up.
state
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device.
tos_exp_dynamic
Indicates the priority of BFD control packets for dynamic BFD sessions. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 7. The default priority is 7, which is the highest priority of BFD control packets.
tos_exp_static
Indicates the priority of BFD control packets for static BFD sessions. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 7. The default priority is 7, which is the highest priority of BFD control packets.
