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/PA-5000 Series is 50; minimum on PA‑3200 Series is 100; minimum on VM-Series is 200 (maximum value is 2000; default is 1000).

Minimum interval (in milliseconds) at which BFD can receive BFD control packets. Minimum value on PA-7000/PA-5000 Series is 50; minimum on PA-3200 Series is 100; minimum on VM-Series is 200 (maximum value is 2000; 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 2-50; 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.
