Name of the BFD profile (up to 31 characters). The name is case-sensitive and must be unique on the firewall. Use only letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores.

Mode in which BFD operates:

Minimum interval (in milliseconds) at which you want the BFD protocol to send BFD control packets. Minimum value on PA-7000 Series, PA-5450, PA-5430, PA-5420, PA-5410, and PA-3400 Series is 50; minimum on PA‑3200 Series is 100; minimum on the PA-400 is 150; minimum on VM-Series is 200 (maximum value is 10,000; default is 1000).

Minimum interval (in milliseconds) at which BFD can receive BFD control packets. Minimum value on PA-7000 Series, PA-5450, PA-5430, PA-5420, PA-5410, and PA-3400 Series is 50; minimum on PA-3200 Series is 100; minimum on the PA-400 is 150; minimum on VM-Series is 200 (maximum value is 10,000; default is 1000).

The local system calculates the detection time as the Detection Time Multiplier received from the remote system multiplied by the agreed transmit interval of the remote system (the greater of the Required Minimum Rx Interval and the last received Desired Minimum Tx Interval). If BFD does not receive a BFD control packet from its peer before the detection time expires, a failure has occurred (range is 2 to 50; default is 3).

Delay (in milliseconds) after a link comes up before the firewall transmits BFD control packets. Hold Time applies to BFD Active mode only. If the firewall receives BFD control packets during the Hold Time, it ignores them (range is 0-120000; default is 0). The default setting of 0 means no transmit Hold Time is used; the firewall sends and receives BFD control packets immediately after the link is established.

Enables BFD over multiple hops. Applies to BGP implementation only.
