The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

When Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) support is configured with Intermediate System To Intermediate System (IS-IS) as a registered protocol with BFD, IS-IS receives forwarding path detection failure messages from BFD.
IS-IS must be running on all participating devices.
The baseline parameters for BFD sessions must be configured on the interfaces that run BFD sessions to BFD neighbors.
Only one IS-IS IPv6 session is supported.
When BFD support is configured with IS-IS as a registered protocol with BFD, IS-IS receives forwarding path detection failure messages from BFD. BFD support for IS-IS can be configured in either router address-family configuration mode or interface configuration mode. IS-IS IPv6 can run in single-topology or in Multi-Topology (MT) mode.
IS-IS BFD supports both IPv4 and IPv6 on the same adjacency for single-topology or multi-topology mode. If BFD is enabled for both IPv4 and IPv6, IS-IS sends two BFD session creation requests to BFD. For single-topology mode, the IS-IS adjacency state can only be UP if both BFD sessions are UP. If either of the BFD sessions is DOWN, the associated IS-IS adjacency state is also DOWN. For MT mode, the IS-IS adjacency state can be UP as long as one of topologies has a BFD session in an UP state.
An IS-IS adjacency entry exists.
The Address Family Identifier (AFI) specific peer interface address is known.
IS-IS BFD is enabled for that AFI on an interface.
IS-IS is enabled for that AFI on the local interface.
If the neighboring device supports RFC 6213, BFD must be enabled for the specified Multi-Topology Identifier (MTID) or Network Layer Protocol Identifier (NLPID).
The IS-IS instance is deleted or un-configured.
The IS-IS adjacency entry is deleted.
IS-IS BFD is disabled on the next hop interface for an address-family.
The neighboring device supports RFC 6213 and indicates that it no longer supports BFD for the specified MTID or NLPID.
