Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: After tuning BFD detection multiplier too low on a congested link, the provider failover oscillates several times per minute. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Compare negotiated BFD interval, detect multiplier, loss and event timestamps. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change.
