Configure RIP to Coordinate with BFD
A backup interface can be used only in a specific application environment, but it cannot meet the real-time backup requirement. At this time, RIP provides the point-to-point Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) function to realize fast convergence and switchover of routes. BFD provides a method for quickly detecting the status of a line between two devices. When BFD detection is enabled between two adjacent RIP devices, if the line between the two devices is faulty, BFD can quickly find the fault and notify RIP. RIP then deletes the RIP route that is associated with the BFD interface. If the route has a backup route, a switchover to the backup route will be performed in a very short period of time (which is determined by BFD settings). Currently, RIP only supports single-hop bi-directional BFD detection.
