A network engineer is implementing BFD configuration changes on a customer's equipment.

 The BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) interval configuration on an interface is automatically disconnected when the BFD-configured subinterface is removed. This is because BFD sessions are tied to the specific subinterface, and removing it will terminate the BFD session associated with that subinterface.
