isisCircProtBfdDesired

Module: DC-ISIS-MIB

OID (symbolic): DC-ISIS-MIB::isisCircProtBfdDesired

OID (numeric): 1.2.826.0.1.1578918.5.63.1.1.3.2.1.28

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: IsisAddrTypeBits

Access: read-create

Description: Indicates the protocols running on this circuit for which Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is desired.

If isisCircProtBfdDesired is clear for an address type, then BFD sessions are not established to peers for that address type.

If isisCircProtBfdDesired is set for an address type, then a BFD session is established to each peer that supports BFD for that address type. The object isisISAdjProtSuppBfdStatus provides BFD status for each address type.

This object can be modified at any time.

What is isisCircProtBfdDesired?

Indicates, per address family, for which protocols this circuit wants Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) sessions established to neighbors: clearing a bit for an address type means no BFD session is attempted for it, setting it causes a BFD session to be established to each peer that also supports BFD for that type, with resulting status reported in isisISAdjProtSuppBfdStatus; unlike many other circuit objects, this one can be modified at any time, not just while disabled. An admin sets the ipv4 (and/or ipv6) bit here to get fast sub-second failure detection on a circuit where IS-IS's own hello timers alone would be too slow to notice a link failure.
