BFD between IOSXE and IOS XR

Cisco, Telecom

I don’t really easily documentary to configure BFD (RFC5880 and you could read precedent blog-post : BFD : Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (RFC5880)) between IOSXE and IOSXR boxes.

Here it comes :-)

 

IOSXE : 

R0# show run | sec bfd 
bfd fast-timers-on-slow-interface
bfd-template single-hop BFD
   interval min-tx 200 min-rx 200 multiplier 3
[...]
R0#show run int port-ch 14
