Describes how to verify BFD session health, inspect packet statistics, identify anomalies, and reset counters for ongoing monitoring and troubleshooting.


This topic provides the necessary commands and methods to verify session establishment, monitor packet transmission, and troubleshoot BFD session failures.

BFD provides counters and statistics that help you:

  • Verify that sessions are established and functioning correctly

  • Monitor packet transmission and reception

  • Identify packet loss or anomalies

  • Troubleshoot session flaps or failures

You can also reset or clear counters to establish a new baseline for monitoring and analysis.


Clear and display BFD counters

You can clear packet counters for BFD sessions that are hosted on a specific node or on a specific interface.

Procedure

1.

Display the BFD packet counters.

Example:

Router# show bfd counters all packet location 0/RP0/CPU0
2.

Clear the BFD packet counters.

Example:

Router# clear bfd counters all packet location 0/RP0/CPU0
3.

Verify that the BFD packet counters are cleared.

Example:

Router# show bfd counters all packet location 0/RP0/CPU0
