Which two benefits of using BFD for failure detection are true? (Choose two)

The correct answer is C. BFD can be used with BGP , EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF. D. BFD can provide failure detection in less than one second.. BFD provides rapid, protocol-independent link failure detection that can trigger routing protocol convergence in sub-second timeframes and integrates with multiple routing protocols.

Question

Which two benefits of using BFD for failure detection are true? (Choose two)

Options

  • ABFD bypasses a failed peer, not needing to rely on the routing protocol.
  • BBFD has an auto-discovery mechanism.
  • CBFD can be used with BGP , EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF.
  • DBFD can provide failure detection in less than one second.
  • EBFD suppresses the routing protocol hellos.
  • FBD peers do not need to be adjacent

Why each option

BFD provides rapid, protocol-independent link failure detection that can trigger routing protocol convergence in sub-second timeframes and integrates with multiple routing protocols.

ABFD bypasses a failed peer, not needing to rely on the routing protocol.

BFD does not bypass a failed peer or reroute traffic itself; it detects the failure and notifies the routing protocol, which then performs its own convergence.

BBFD has an auto-discovery mechanism.

BFD has no auto-discovery mechanism; BFD sessions must be explicitly configured or triggered by a routing protocol registering a neighbor.

CBFD can be used with BGP , EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF.Correct

BFD is a protocol-independent detection mechanism that integrates with routing protocols including BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF, allowing any of them to use BFD sessions to detect path failures faster than their native timers.

DBFD can provide failure detection in less than one second.Correct

BFD uses configurable timer intervals in the millisecond range, enabling failure detection well under one second - far faster than routing protocol hello/dead timer mechanisms which typically operate in seconds.

EBFD suppresses the routing protocol hellos.

BFD does not suppress or replace routing protocol hello packets; it runs independently alongside the routing protocol's own keepalive mechanisms.

FBD peers do not need to be adjacent

Single-hop BFD requires directly adjacent peers; while multi-hop BFD (RFC 5883) exists, stating that BFD peers generally do not need to be adjacent is incorrect and not a defined benefit.
