neighbor 2.2.2.2 on interface Gi 4/24 (diag: 0)

Changing physical port session parameters
BFD sessions are configured with default intervals and a default role (active). The parameters that can be
configured are: Desired TX Interval, Required Min RX Interval, Detection Multiplier, and system role.
These parameters are configured per interface; if you change a parameter, the change affects all physical
port sessions on that interface. Dell Force10 recommends maintaining the default values.
To change session parameters on an interface:

sessions on an interface.
