Parameters
session-name: Specify a static BFD session by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 64 characters. The specified static BFD session cannot be the current static BFD session.
re-negotiate seconds: Specifies the maximum amount of time that the associated static BFD session can perform negotiation. The value range for the seconds argument is 10 to 600 seconds. The default is 60 seconds. This option takes effect only on bidirectional associations.
Usage guidelines
The device supports the following association types for two static BFD sessions (static BFD session a and static BFD session b are used for illustration):
· Unidirectional association—Session a is associated with session b in the view of session a, or session b is associated with session a in the view of session b.
· Bidirectional association—Session a is associated with session b in the view of session a, and session b is associated with session a in the view of session b.
A unidirectional association works as follows (the association configured in the view of static BFD session a is taken as an example):
1. When session a changes to the Down state, session b also changes to the Down state. Before session a comes up, session b is not allowed to perform negotiation.
2. When session a changes to the Up state, static BFD session b starts to perform negotiation. The state of session a is not affected even if session b cannot come up through negotiation.
A bidirectional association works as follows:
1. When session a changes to the Down state, session b also changes to the Down state. Before session a comes up, session b is not allowed to perform negotiation.
2. When session a changes to the Up state, session b starts to perform negotiation.
¡ If session b comes up through negotiation in the specified time, both static BFD sessions are placed in Up state.
¡ If session b fail to come up through negotiation in the specified time, both static BFD sessions are placed in Down state.
3. The same rules apply to the state changes of session a if session b first changes to the Down state.
To change an associated static BFD session, first execute the undo associate-static-session command and then associate a new static BFD session by using the associate-static-session command.

# Associate static BFD session aaa with static BFD session bbb.
<Sysname> system-view

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
maximum-interval: Specifies the maximum time a BFD session is suppressed, in the range of 1 to 3600 seconds. The default is 20 seconds.
initial-interval: Specifies the amount of time a BFD session is suppressed for the first time. The value range for the initial-interval argument is 1 to 3600 seconds. The default is 6 seconds.
secondary-interval: Specifies the amount of time a BFD session is suppressed for the second time. The value range for the secondary-interval argument is 1 to 3600 seconds. The default is 10 seconds.
Usage guidelines
When BFD detects a link failure, it tears down the BFD session and notifies the upper-layer protocol of the failure. When the upper-layer protocol re-establishes a neighbor relationship, the BFD session comes up again. BFD session flaps occur when a link fails and recovers repeatedly, which consumes significant system resources and causes network instability.
This command allows you to suppress BFD session flapping by using the initial-interval, secondary-interval, and maximum-interval arguments.
· A BFD session is suppressed within the specified interval. The suppression time does not exceed the maximum-interval.
· After a BFD session goes down for the second time, it cannot be re-established within the initial-interval.
· After a BFD session goes down for the third time, it cannot be re-established within the secondary-interval.
· After a BFD session goes down for the fourth time and at any later time, the following rules apply:
¡ If secondary-interval × 2n-3 is smaller than or equal to the maximum-interval, the BFD session cannot be re-established within the secondary-interval × 2n-3.
¡ If secondary-interval × 2n-3 is greater than the maximum-interval, the BFD session cannot be re-established within the maximum-interval.
The letter n, starting from 4, is the number of times the BFD session flaps.
Examples
# Enable BFD session flapping suppression, and set the maximum-interval, initial-interval, and secondary-interval to 12 seconds, 4 seconds, and 8 seconds, respectively.

Use undo bfd demand enable to restore the default.
Syntax
bfd demand enable
undo bfd demand enable
Default
The BFD session is in Asynchronous mode.
Views
Interface view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Usage guidelines
In Demand mode, the device periodically sends BFD control packets. If the peer end is operating in Asynchronous mode (default), the peer end stops sending BFD control packets. If the peer end is operating in Demand mode, both ends stop sending BFD control packets. When a system in Demand mode wants to verify the connectivity to another system, it sends several BFD control packets with the Poll (P) bit set at the negotiated transmit interval. If no response is received within the detection interval, the session is considered down. If the connectivity is found to be up, no more BFD control packets are sent until the next command is issued. As a best practice, configure the bfd echo enable command together with this command to detect connectivity by sending Echo packets. If the device does not receive any Echo packets from the peer end, it considers the session down.
In Asynchronous mode, the device periodically sends BFD control packets. The device considers that the session is down if it does not receive any BFD control packets within a specific interval.
BFD version 0 does not support this command. The configuration does not take effect.
Examples
# Enable the Demand BFD session mode on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
ip-address: Specifies the source IP address for BFD control packets.
discriminator: Specifies BFD session discriminators. If you do not specify discriminators, the device obtains BFD session discriminators through autonegotiation.
local local-value: Specifies the local discriminator. The value range for the local-value argument is 1 to 32768.
remote remote-value: Specifies the remote discriminator in the range of 1 to 4294967295.
template template-name: Specifies a template by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. If you specify a nonexistent template or do not specify a template, the BFD session uses the BFD parameters configured in interface view. If you first specify a nonexistent template and then create the template, the BFD session uses the parameters configured in the template.
Usage guidelines
By creating a BFD session for single-hop detection through exchange of BFD control packets, this feature implements fast link detection.. When BFD detects a link fault, it sets the link layer protocol state to DOWN(BFD). This behavior helps applications relying on the link layer protocol state achieve fast convergence. The source IP address of control packets is specified manually, and the destination IP address is fixed at 224.0.0.184. As a best practice, specify the IP address of the interface as the source IP address. If the interface does not have an IP address, specify a unicast IP address other than 0.0.0.0 as the source IP address.
You can associate the state of the following interfaces with BFD:
· Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces.
· Member ports in a Layer 3 aggregation group.
· Layer 3 Ethernet subinterfaces.
· Layer 3 aggregate interfaces
· Layer 3 aggregate subinterfaces
· Serial interfaces, POS interfaces, serial interfaces created from E1, E3, T1, or T3, MP-group interfaces, member interfaces of an MP-group interface, HDLC link bundle interfaces, and member interfaces of an HDLC link bundle interface.
If the link layer protocol of an interface is modified by using the link-protocol command, the association between the interface state and BFD is automatically cancelled. When associating the state of a member interface of an MP-group interface or of an HDLC link bundle interface, you must specify the discriminator parameter.
This command must be configured on both ends of the link for a BFD session to be established.
For BFD detection to take effect, do not configure this command on both a Layer 3 Ethernet interface and its subinterface.
To associate the interface state with BFD successfully and avoid session state exceptions, as a best practice, do not set demand mode for the BFD session.
If the peer device does not support obtaining BFD session discriminators through autonegotiation, you must specify the discriminators on both the local and peer devices. Without the discriminators, the BFD session cannot come up.
The BFD session discriminators must match on the local and peer devices. For example, if you configure bfd detect-interface source-ip 20.1.1.1 discriminator local 513 remote 514 on the local device, you must configure bfd detect-interface source-ip 20.1.1.1 discriminator local 514 remote 513 on the peer device.
The local discriminators of BFD sessions for interfaces on the same device must be different.
The echo function does not take effect on BFD sessions associated with interface states.
To detect data link layer connectivity for an interface, execute one of the following commands:
· bfd detect-interface source-ip
· bfd static session-name peer-ip default-ip interface interface-type interface-number source-ip ip-address
Examples
# Associate GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 with BFD to detect the interface state, and specify the source IP address for BFD control packets as 20.1.1.1.

network-admin
Parameters
seconds: Specifies the timeout time that reports the first BFD session establishment failure to the data link layer. The value range for this argument is 1 to 10000 seconds.
Usage guidelines
If the BFD session fails to be established when the timer expires, BFD reports the failure to the data link layer and sets the data link layer state of the interface to DOWN(BFD). This behavior rapidly identifies the interfaces for which BFD sessions fail to be established. In this case, the BFD session state is displayed as Down in the display bfd session command output. The line protocol state of the interface is displayed as DOWN(BFD) in the display interface command output.
If you execute the bfd detect-interface source-ip command on the local end, the BFD session for detecting the local interface state fails to be established when the following conditions exist:
· The bfd detect-interface source-ip command is not executed on the remote end.
· The local and remote ends have mismatching BFD authentication settings.
Examples
# Configure the timer that delays reporting the first BFD session establishment failure as 10 seconds for GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

Parameters
admin-down: Notifies a session down event to the data link layer upon receipt of a BFD packet with the State field as AdminDown. This keyword helps rapidly discover interfaces on which BFD sessions are manually shut down. If you do not specify this keyword, the device sets the BFD session state to Down, but does not notify the session down event to the data link layer.
authentication-change: Immediately sets the session to down state upon a local authentication information change. This keyword helps rapidly discover interfaces with authentication information changes. If you do not specify this keyword, the device sets the session to down state if authentication information inconsistency still persists after a period of time.
session-up: Ignores authentication information inconsistency when the local session is up. If a large number of BFD sessions exist, examining authentication information consistency affects device performance. If you do not specify this keyword, the device examines authentication information in incoming BFD packets when the local session state is up. If the authentication information does not match on the two ends, the BFD session is declared down.
Usage guidelines
If you do not specify any parameters, this command enables or disables all types of special processing.
When the authentication mode for BFD packets is M-MD5, M-SHA1, HMAC-MMD5, or HMAC-MSHA1, configuring the bfd detect-interface special-processing session-up command on only the local or remote end will cause BFD session flapping. To avoid this issue, perform one of the following tasks:
· Change the authentication mode for BFD packets.
· Configure the bfd detect-interface special-processing session-up command on both of the local and remote ends.

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
receive: Specifies the echo packet receiving capability.
send: Specifies the echo packet sending capability.
Usage guidelines
If you enable the echo function for a BFD session in which control packets are sent and the session comes up, BFD performs the following operations:
· Periodically sends echo packets to detect link connectivity.
· Decreases the control packet receiving rate at the same time.
To enable only the echo packet receiving capability, use the bfd echo receive enable command.
To enable only the echo packet sending capability, use the bfd echo send enable command.
If you do not specify the receive or send keyword, the command enables both the echo packet receiving and sending capabilities.
The echo function does not take effect on BFD sessions associated with interface states.
The echo function does not take effect on BFD sessions in control packet mode that use IPv6 link-local addresses.
If you configure both the bfd detect-interface and bfd echo enable commands for an interface, only the bfd detect-interface command takes effect.
BFD version 0 does not support this command. The configuration does not take effect.
A static BFD session supports this command only when it is in IPv4 or IPv6 control packet mode used for single-hop detection.

Parameters
ip-address: Specifies the source IP address of BFD echo packets. The source IP address must be a valid unicast IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation.
Usage guidelines
As a best practice, execute this command only one end, and do not configure the source IP address to be on the same network segment as any local interface's IP address. If you configure such a source IP address, a large number of ICMP redirect packets might be sent from the peer, resulting in link congestion.
Examples

Parameters
ipv6-address: Specifies the source IPv6 address for BFD echo packets.
Usage guidelines
The source IPv6 address of echo packets can only be a global unicast address.
As a best practice, execute this command only one end. The source IPv6 address cannot be on the same network segment as any local interface's IP address. Otherwise, a large number of ICMP redirect packets might be sent from the peer, resulting in link congestion.

network-admin
Parameters
seconds: Specifies the delay time in the range of 5 to 600 seconds. After the delay time, BFD notifies the upper-layer protocol of session establishment failures.
Usage guidelines
CAUTION: For session establishment failures caused by configuration mismatches at the two ends, this command can cause the upper-layer protocol to act incorrectly. Therefore, use this command with caution. BFD status mismatch and BFD authentication configuration mismatch are examples of configuration mismatches. |
This command takes effect only for control packet mode.
In some cases, for an upper-layer protocol to act correctly, BFD must notify the upper-layer protocol of session establishment failures. For example, with this command configured, the link aggregation module can promptly set the state of a member port from Selected to Unselected in the case of a link failure.
Examples
# Set the delay timer to 10 seconds for BFD to notify upper-layer protocols of session establishment failures.

Parameters
port-number: Specifies the destination port number of multihop BFD control packets, 3784 or 4784.
Usage guidelines
IANA assigned port number 4784 to BFD for multihop BFD detection in control packet mode. By default, H3C devices use 4784 as the destination port number for multihop BFD control packets, while devices from other vendors might use 3784. To avoid BFD session establishment failures, make sure the devices on both ends of the BFD session use the same destination port number for multihop BFD control packets.
This command applies to only new multihop BFD sessions in control packet mode.

Parameters
active: Specifies the active mode. In active mode, BFD actively transmits BFD control packets to the remote device, regardless of whether it receives a BFD control packet from the remote device.
passive: Specifies the passive mode. In passive mode, BFD does not actively transmit a BFD control packet to the remote end; it transmits a BFD control packet only after receiving a BFD control packet from the remote end.
Usage guidelines
A minimum of one end must operate in active mode for a BFD session to be established.
BFD version 0 does not support this command. The configuration does not take effect.

Views

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
interval: Specifies a delay timer in the range of 1 to 1200 seconds.
Usage guidelines
If an upper-layer protocol uses BFD to detect the active path, an active/standby path switchover is triggered after the active path goes down. If the BFD session comes up before the active path recovers, the traffic on the standby path will be switched over to the active path. In this case, traffic loss will occur.
The session negotiation delay function starts a delay timer for each BFD session from up to down state and each newly created session. Before the timer expires, the device does not perform session negotiation on each BFD session. The delay timer allows the active path to recover completely before the BFD session comes up again.

Parameters
interval: Specifies a delay timer in the range of 1 to 1200 seconds.
Usage guidelines
If an upper-layer protocol uses BFD to detect the active path, an active/standby path switchover is triggered upon a device reboot. If the BFD session comes up after a device reboot, the traffic on the standby path will be switched over to the active path. In this case, traffic loss will occur if the active path of the upper-layer protocol has not recovered completely.
The session negotiation delay function starts a delay timer when the device reboots successfully. Before this timer expires, the device does not perform session negotiation on BFD sessions in down state or newly created sessions. The delay timer allows the active path to recover completely before the BFD session comes up again.
If both the bfd session-negotiation delay-upon-reboot and bfd session-negotiation delay-upon-down commands are executed, the device uses the longer delay time configured in the two commands after a reboot.

# Enable BFD session negotiation delay upon a device reboot and set the delay timer to 6 seconds.

Parameters
session-name: Specifies a static BFD session name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 64 characters.
peer-ip ipv4-address: Specifies the peer IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation. It must be a valid unicast IPv4 address. For a static BFD session in control packet mode, the peer IPv4 address and the source IPv4 address determine the path to be detected. For a static BFD session in echo packet mode, the peer IPv4 address and the destination IPv4 address determine the path to be detected.
peer-ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the peer IPv6 address. For a static BFD session in control packet mode, the peer IPv6 address and the source IPv6 address determine the path to be detected. For a static BFD session in echo packet mode, the peer IPv6 address and the destination IPv6 address determine the path to be detected.
default-ip: Specifies the peer IPv4 address as 224.0.0.184.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies an MPLS L3VPN instance by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If you do not specify this option, the static BFD session belongs to the public network.
interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number. BFD uses the specified interface as the outgoing interface for outgoing packets.
destination-ip ipv4-address: Specifies the destination IPv4 address for echo packets, in dotted decimal notation. It must be a valid unicast IPv4 address of the local end.
destination-ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the destination IPv6 address for echo packets. It must be the IPv6 address of the local end.
source-ip ipv4-address: Specifies the source IPv4 address for BFD packets, in dotted decimal notation. It must be a valid unicast IPv4 address.
source-ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the source IPv6 address for BFD packets.
one-arm-echo: Specifies the static BFD session mode as echo packet mode.
discriminator: Specifies BFD session discriminators.
auto: Enables the device to automatically assign local discriminator values to static BFD sessions.
track-interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface monitored by the static BFD session. When the monitored interface fails, the static BFD session changes to the down state. If you do not specify this option, the static BFD session does not monitor any interfaces.
Usage guidelines
Application scenarios
A static BFD session can be used for single-hop detection and multihop detection.
Operating mechanism
For a static BFD session in control packet mode, the source IP address of BFD packets is the IP address specified for the source-ip/source-ipv6 keyword, and the destination IP address is the IP address specified for the peer-ip/peer-ipv6 keyword.
For a static BFD session in echo packet mode, the source IP address of BFD packets is the IP address specified for the source-ip/source-ipv6 keyword, and the destination IP address is the IP address specified for the destination-ip/destination-ipv6 keyword. If no source IP address is specified, the device uses the IP address specified in the destination-ip or destination-ipv6 command as the source IP address of echo packets.
Recommended configuration
A static BFD session can monitor the following interfaces:
· Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces and their subinterfaces.
· Layer 3 aggregate interfaces and their subinterfaces and member ports.
Restrictions and guidelines
If a static BFD session in control packet mode is created on the peer device, you must use this command to create a static BFD session on the local device. The BFD session discriminators must match on the local and peer devices. For example, if you execute the bfd static abc peer-ip 20.1.1.1 source-ip 20.1.1.2 command in system view and the discriminator local 513 and discriminator remote 514 commands in static BFD session on the local device, you must execute the bfd static abc peer-ip 20.1.1.2 source-ip 20.1.1.1 command and the discriminator local 514 and discriminator remote 513 commands on the peer device.
When creating a static BFD session, you must specify a peer IP address. The system checks only the format of the IP address but not its correctness. If the peer IPv4 or IPv6 address is incorrect, the static BFD session cannot be established. The bfd static session-name command without any parameters specified can only be used to enter the view of an existing static BFD session.
For a static BFD session in control packet mode, you must use the discriminator command to specify its local and remote discriminators. Otherwise, the static BFD session does not take effect.
You need to create a static BFD session on only the local device if you use the echo packet mode for detection. As a best practice, specify the source IP address for echo packets when creating a static BFD session. Make sure the specified source IP address does not belong to the subnet where a local interface resides. Without a source IP address specified, the device uses the IP address specified in the bfd echo-source-ip or bfd echo-source-ipv6 command as the source IP address of echo packets. If you do not specify the source IP address by using either method, the device uses the IP address specified in the destination-ip or destination-ipv6 command as the source IP address of echo packets.
To use a static BFD session in control packet mode for single-hop detection, you must perform the following configuration:
· Specify the IP address of the peer interface for the peer-ip/peer-ipv6 keyword.
· Specify the IP address of the local interface for the source-ip/source-ipv6 keyword.
To modify a static BFD session, delete the static BFD session and then configure a new static BFD session.
Different static BFD sessions cannot have the same local discriminator.
To detect data link layer connectivity for an interface, execute one of the following commands:
· bfd detect-interface source-ip
· bfd static session-name peer-ip default-ip interface interface-type interface-number source-ip ip-address
Use the IP address of the interface as the source IP address. If the interface does not have an IP address, specify a unicast IP address other than 0.0.0.0. An interface can use only one static BFD session to detect data link layer connectivity.

Parameters
peer-ip ipv4-address mask-length: Specifies a peer IPv4 address range for the BFD session. The ipv4-address argument represents a valid unicast IPv4 address in dotted decimal notion. The mask-length argument represents the mask length in the range of 8 to 32.
peer-ipv6 ipv6-address prefix-length: Specifies a peer IPv6 address range for the BFD session. The ipv6-address argument represents an IPv6 address. The prefix-length argument represents a prefix length in the range of 16 to 128.
single-hop: Specifies single-hop BFD sessions.
multi-hop: Specifies multihop BFD sessions.
ttl-value: Specifies the TTL value for BFD packets, in the range of 1 to 255.
Usage guidelines
When you connect an H3C device to a device from another vendor, for successful BFD session negotiation, make sure the TTL value settings for BFD packets on both ends of the BFD session are the same. When the device receives a BFD packet in DOWN or INIT state from its peer, it verifies the TTL value of the packet and performs one of the following actions:
· For a single-hop BFD session, if the device receives a packet that carries a TTL value that is different from the TTL value specified with this command, the device drops the packet.
· For a multihop BFD session, if the device receives a packet that carries a TTL value that is greater than the TTL value specified with this command, the device drops the packet.
· If the BFD session is already up, the device sets the BFD session state to AdminDown, which triggers a BFD session renegotiation.
Follow these guidelines when you set the TTL value for BFD packets:
· This command does not take effect on BFD sessions in echo packet mode.
· The device does not verify the TTL value in SBFD packets.
· For an IPv4 or IPv6 address with different mask lengths or prefix lengths, the device uses the TTL value specified with the longest mask or prefix length. For example, if the peer IP address of a BFD session is 10.10.10.1 and the following commands are configured, the device uses TTL value 253 for BFD packets.
¡ bfd peer-ip 10.10.10.0 23 ttl single-hop 254
¡ bfd peer-ip 10.10.10.0 24 ttl single-hop 253
For an IPv4 or IPv6 subnet, the TTL value of single-hop BFD packets must be greater than the TTL value of multihop BFD packets.
Examples
# Set the TTL value of single-hop BFD packets to 254, and specify the peer IP address of the BFD session as 10.10.10.0 and the mask length as 24.

Views
System view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
interval: Specifies a delay timer in the range of 1 to 1200 seconds.
Usage guidelines
If an upper-layer protocol uses SBFD to detect the active path, an active/standby path switchover is triggered after the active path goes down. If the SBFD session comes up before the active path recovers, the traffic on the standby path will be switched over to the active path. In this case, traffic loss will occur.
The session negotiation delay function starts a delay timer for each SBFD session from up to down state and each newly created session. Before the timer expires, the device does not perform session negotiation on each SBFD session. The delay timer allows the active path to recover completely before the SBFD session comes up again.
Examples
# Enable session negotiation delay for down SBFD sessions and set the delay timer to 6 seconds.

undo bfd session-negotiation delay-upon-reboot
Default

Views
System view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
interval: Specifies a delay timer in the range of 1 to 1200 seconds.
Usage guidelines
If an upper-layer protocol uses SBFD to detect the active path, an active/standby path switchover is triggered upon a device reboot. If the SBFD session comes up after a device reboot, the traffic on the standby path will be switched over to the active path. In this case, traffic loss will occur if the active path of the upper-layer protocol has not recovered completely.
The session negotiation delay function starts a delay timer when the device reboots successfully. Before this timer expires, the device does not perform session negotiation on SBFD sessions in down state or newly created sessions. The delay timer allows the active path to recover completely before the SBFD session comes up again.
If both the bfd session-negotiation delay-upon-reboot and bfd session-negotiation delay-upon-down commands are executed, the device uses the longer delay time configured in the two commands after a reboot.
Examples
# Enable SBFD session negotiation delay upon a device reboot and set the delay timer to 6 seconds.

sbfd local-discriminator
sbfd destination ipv4 remote-discriminator
Use sbfd destination ipv4 remote-discriminator to associate the destination IPv4 address of the detected path with the remote discriminator of the SBFD session for the initiator.
Use undo sbfd destination ipv4 to cancel the association between the destination IPv4 address of the detected path and the remote discriminator of the SBFD session for the initiator.
Syntax
sbfd destination ipv4 destination-ipv4-address remote-discriminator { ipv4-address | integer-value }
undo sbfd destination ipv4 destination-ipv4-address
Default
The destination IPv4 address of the detected path is not associated with the remote discriminator of the SBFD session for the initiator.
Views
System view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
destination-ipv4-address: Specifies a valid unicast IPv4 address as the destination IPv4 address of the detected path.
ipv4-address: Specifies a valid unicast IPv4 address as the remote discriminator.
integer-value: Specifies an integer as the remote discriminator. The value range for this argument is 1 to 4294967295.
Usage guidelines
This command allows you to use the specified remote discriminator for an SBFD session to detect an LSP or MPLS TE tunnel.
The initiator selects a remote discriminator for an SBFD session as follows:
1. Selects the remote discriminator of the SBFD session used for path connectivity detection. For example, the remote discriminator of the SBFD session specified in the mpls sbfd command.
2. Selects the remote discriminator specified in this command.
3. Selects the destination IPv4 address of the detected path.
You can execute this command repeatedly to configure multiple associations between destination IPv4 addresses and remote discriminators for the initiator.
When configuring or canceling an association, the SBFD session might flap if it is in up state.
Examples
# Associate destination IPv4 address 22.22.2.2/32 of the detected LSP with remote discriminator 1.1.1.1 of the SBFD session for the initiator.

integer-value: Specifies an integer as the local discriminator. The value range for this argument is 1000001 to 4294967295.
Usage guidelines
In a BFD session, both ends periodically send BFD packets to detect bidirectional forwarding path failures. SBFD is a unidirectional failure detection mechanism that provides shorter detection time than BFD. SBFD is used in scenarios where only one end of a link requires failure detection, such as MPLS TE tunnel establishment through static SRLSP.
An SBFD session involves the following roles:
· Initiator—Periodically sends SBFD control packets to detect connectivity to remote entities. An initiator initiates SBFD sessions and maintain SBFD session state.
· Reflector—Listens for incoming SBFD control packets on local entities and replies with response SBFD control packets.
The remote discriminator in SBFD control packets sent by the initiator must be specified in the sbfd local-discriminator command. Otherwise, the reflector does not reply with response SBFD control packets.
You can execute this command multiple times to configure multiple local discriminators.
A node can act as the initiator of one session and the reflector of another session at the same time.
Examples
# Specify 1.1.1.1 as the local discriminator for the reflector.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] sbfd local-discriminator 1.1.1.1
# Specify 1000001 as the local discriminator for the reflector.

sbfd initiator accept-down-response
Use sbfd initiator accept-down-response to enable the initiator to send SBFD packets in up state upon receiving SBFD packets in down state from the reflector during session establishment.
Use undo sbfd initiator accept-down-response to restore the default.
Syntax

undo sbfd initiator accept-down-response
Default
During session establishment, upon receiving an SBFD packet in down state from the reflector, the initiator drops the packet. The SBFD session cannot be established.

Usage guidelines
Typically, to establish an SBFD session, the initiator first sends a SBFD packet in down state. If the reflector replies with an SBFD packet in down state, the initiator will drop the packet, and the SBFD session cannot be established. To resolve this issue, configure this command on the initiator. After configuration, when the initiator receives an SBFD packet in down state from the reflector, it sends an SBFD packet in up state for successful session establishment.
Examples
# Enable the initiator to send SBFD packets in up state upon receiving SBFD packets in down state from the reflector during session establishment.
