Figure 63 Network diagram for IS-IS FRR

In

Figure 63

, after you enable FRR on Router B, IS-IS automatically calculates or designates a backup next

hop when a link failure is detected. In this way, packets are directed to the backup next hop to reduce

traffic recovery time. Meanwhile, IS-IS calculates the shortest path based on the new network topology,

and forwards packets over the path after network convergence.
You can either enable IS-IS FRR to calculate a backup next hop automatically, or to designate a backup

next hop with a routing policy for routes matching specific criteria.

Configuration prerequisites

Before configuring IS-IS FRR, complete the following tasks:

Configure network layer addresses for interfaces to make the neighboring nodes reachable at the
network layer

Enable IS-IS

Configure IS-IS FRR to automatically calculate a backup next hop

Follow these steps to configure IS-IS FRR:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Configure the source address of
echo packets

bfd echo-source-ip ip-address

Required
Not configured by default.

Enter IS-IS view

isis [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]

Enable IS-IS FRR to automatically
calculate a backup next hop

fast-reroute auto

Required
Not configured by default.

Configure IS-IS FRR to designate a backup next hop with a routing policy

You can use the apply fast-reroute backup-interface command to specify a backup next hop in a routing

policy for routes matching specific criteria. For more information about the apply fast-reroute

backup-interface command and routing policy configurations, see the chapter “Routing policy

configuration.”
