session state to

Viewing Physical Port Session Parameters
BFD sessions are configured with default intervals and a default role (active). Dell EMC Networking recommends maintaining
the default values.
To view session parameters, use the show bfd neighbors detail command.
Example of Viewing Session Parameters

Disabling and Re-Enabling BFD
BFD is enabled on all interfaces by default, though sessions are not created unless explicitly configured.
If you disable BFD, all of the sessions on that interface are placed in an Administratively Down state ( the first message
example), and the remote systems are notified of the session state change (the second message example).
To disable and re-enable BFD on an interface, use the following commands.
Disable BFD on an interface.
