+BFD
+###
+
+:abbr:`BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection)` is described and extended by
+the following RFCs: :rfc:`5880`, :rfc:`5881` and :rfc:`5883`.
+
+
+Configure BFD
+=============
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols bfd peer <address>
+
+   Set BFD peer IPv4 address or IPv6 address
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols bfd peer <address> echo-mode
+
+   Enables the echo transmission mode
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols bfd peer <address> multihop
+
+   Allow this BFD peer to not be directly connected
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols bfd peer <address> source [address <address> | interface <interface>]
+
+   Bind listener to specifid interface/address, mandatory for IPv6
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols bfd peer <address> interval echo-interval <10-60000>
+
+   The minimal echo receive transmission interval that this system is capable of handling
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols bfd peer <address> interval multiplier <2-255>
+
+   Remote transmission interval will be multiplied by this value
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols bfd peer <address> interval [receive | transmit] <10-60000>
+
+   Interval in milliseconds
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols bfd peer <address> shutdown
+
+   Disable a BFD peer
+
+
+Enable BFD in BGP
+-----------------
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols bgp <asn> neighbor <address> bfd
+
+   Enable BFD on a single BGP neighbor
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols bgp <asn> peer-group <group> bfd
+
+   Enable BFD on a BGP peer group
+
+
+
+Enable BFD in OSPF
+------------------
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet <ethN> ip ospf bfd
+
+   Enable BFD for ospf on a interface
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet <ethN> ipv6 ospfv3 bfd
+
+   Enable BFD for ospfv3 on a interface
+
+
+
+Operational Commands
+====================
+
+.. opcmd:: show protocols bfd peer
+
+   Show all BFD peers
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
