Note

This module is part of the cisco.nxos collection (version 9.2.1).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install cisco.nxos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.nxos.nxos_bfd_global.

New in cisco.nxos 1.0.0

Synopsis

  • Manages Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) global-level configuration.

Aliases: bfd_global

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

echo_interface

string

Loopback interface used for echo frames.

Valid values are loopback interface name or ‘deleted’.

Not supported on N5K/N6K

echo_rx_interval

integer

BFD Echo receive interval in milliseconds.

fabricpath_interval

dictionary

BFD fabricpath interval timer values.

Value must be a dict defining values for keys (tx, min_rx, and multiplier).

fabricpath_slow_timer

integer

BFD fabricpath slow rate timer in milliseconds.

fabricpath_vlan

integer

BFD fabricpath control vlan.

interval

dictionary

BFD interval timer values.

Value must be a dict defining values for keys (tx, min_rx, and multiplier)

ipv4_echo_rx_interval

integer

BFD IPv4 session echo receive interval in milliseconds.

ipv4_interval

dictionary

BFD IPv4 interval timer values.

Value must be a dict defining values for keys (tx, min_rx, and multiplier).

ipv4_slow_timer

integer

BFD IPv4 slow rate timer in milliseconds.

ipv6_echo_rx_interval

integer

BFD IPv6 session echo receive interval in milliseconds.

ipv6_interval

dictionary

BFD IPv6 interval timer values.

Value must be a dict defining values for keys (tx, min_rx, and multiplier).

ipv6_slow_timer

integer

BFD IPv6 slow rate timer in milliseconds.

slow_timer

integer

BFD slow rate timer in milliseconds.

startup_timer

integer

BFD delayed startup timer in seconds.

Not supported on N5K/N6K/N7K

Notes

Note

  • Tested against NXOSv 9.2(2)

  • Unsupported for Cisco MDS

  • BFD global will automatically enable ‘feature bfd’ if it is disabled.

  • BFD global does not have a ‘state’ parameter. All of the BFD commands are unique and are defined if ‘feature bfd’ is enabled.

  • For information on using CLI and NX-API see the :ref:`NXOS Platform Options guide <nxos_platform_options>`

  • For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the :ref:`Ansible Network Guide <network_guide>`

  • For more information on using Ansible to manage Cisco devices see the `Cisco integration page <https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/cisco>`_.
