HSRP with BFD timers NK5

[RICARDO SANCHEZ]

Hello

It is recommended to use HSRP with BFD to improve the timers in a N5K?

thanks for your help

BFD is generally recommended to use along with HSRP, because it seems to be very flexible in terms of timer tuning, light weight regarding any overhead and it's flexibility in terms of overall application appears very impressive.

But you must consider some points:

1. BFD can have high resource demands depending on your scale.
2. some platforms do not support BFD on every type of interface.

Thanks for your reply Houtan

I will consider that,

There  is a document that show the platform supported?, or best practice to N5K

Unfortunately, there's no list which clearly indicates BFD supporting devices, but for configuration you can use:
