Clearing BFD Sessions

You can use the clear bfd session or clear ipv6 bfd session commands to clear one or more BFD sessions for IPv4 or IPv6 (respectively).

Use to restart all IPv4 BFD sessions or a specified IPv4 BFD session.
Use the address keyword to indicate the IPv4 address of the destination to which the session has been established.
Use the discriminator keyword to clear the BFD session associated with the unique system-wide identifier.
Example 1
host1#clear bfd session
Example 2
host1#clear bfd session address 10.10.5.24
Example 3
host1#clear bfd session discriminator 4

Note: When the clear bfd session command is executed, the BFD sessions move to the Admin Down state before restarting the BFD sessions so that the client applications are not impacted.

Use the address keyword to indicate the IPv6 address of the destination to which the session has been established.
Example 1
