+    add additional data such as existing states, playbook states, and proposed cli.

+short_description: Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) global-level configuration
+description:
+  - Manages Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) global-level configuration.
+author:
+  - Chris Van Heuveln (@chrisvanheuveln)
+notes:
+    - Tested against NXOSv 9.2(2)
+    - BFD global will automatically enable 'feature bfd' if it is disabled.
+    - BFD global does not have a 'state' parameter. All of the BFD commands are unique and are defined if 'feature bfd' is enabled.
