[All NSE7_EFW-7.2 Questions]

Which two statements about the BFD parameter in BGP are true? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is a rapid protocol for detecting failures in the forwarding path between two adjacent routers, including interfaces, data links, and forwarding planes. BFD is designed to detect forwarding path failures in a very short amount of time, often less than one second, which is significantly faster than traditional failure detection mechanisms like hold-down timers in routing protocols.

Fortinet supports BFD for BGP, and it can be used over multiple hops, which allows the detection of failures even if the BGP peers are not directly connected. This functionality enhances the ability to maintain stable BGP sessions over a wider network topology and is documented in Fortinet's guides.

Looks like the BGP gods are testing our networking knowledge today. Time to channel our inner Cisco wizards!

I'm going with A and C as well. B sounds like it would be too limiting for a feature like BFD.

I believe the correct answers are A and D, as BFD detects only two-way failures.

D is definitely wrong. BFD is designed to detect both one-way and two-way failures, not just two-way.

Haha, I bet the developers of BFD were like, 'How fast can we make this thing fail? One second? Challenge accepted!'

A and C seem to be the correct options here. BFD is all about rapid failure detection, and it can work across multiple hops, not just on the same subnet.

Yes, you're correct. BFD is designed for rapid failure detection and can indeed work over multiple hops.
