BFD peer is down

[h.dam]

Hello,

I found in cisco documentation that BFD is not available on OSPF, only BGP.

So I use BGP protocol on my fw FTD 2130.

I use FDM to configure this FTD fw. In the BGP part, I activated this line:

"neighbor 1.1.1.1 fall-over bfd single-hop"

When I run the CLI on a ssh session:

"show bgp neighbors 1.1.1.1 details", it showed the following:

Fall over configured for session
BFD is configured. BFD peer is Down. Using BFD to detect fast fallover (single-hop.)

I can ping the peer 1.1.1.1, I didn't know why it said BFD peer is down.

I tried searching on FDM BGP part, there's no command to turn it up, while BGP peering is up with prefixes.

Anyone has some feedbacks? My FTD version is v6.7.0
