Cisco ASA BFD/BGP Configuration

I want to enable BFD with BGP on a new ASA deployment, just looking for some verification of the config:

1. Define BFD template

bfd-template single-hop Standard-BFD-Template

interval both 300

2. Apply BFD to interface

interface GigabitEthernet0/0

bfd template Standard-BFD-Template

bfd interval 300 min_rx 300 multiplier 3

Is that it? On IOS platforms you need to associate BGP with BFD like below:

neighbor ip-address fall-over bfd

But i cant find a comparable command within the ASA documentation. Is something similar needed or not?

thanks!

EDIT:: Found it buried within an obtuse command reference guide. Its the same as IOS

neighbor fall-over bfd (router bgp)

To configure BFD support for BGP so that BGP is registered to receive forwarding path detection failure messages from BFD, use the fall-over option when configuring the neighbor.

neighbor ip_address | ipv6_address fall-over bfd
