Configuring a bypass tunnel on its PLR

After a tunnel is specified to protect an interface, its corresponding LSP becomes a bypass LSP. The setup
of a bypass LSP must be manually performed on the PLR. The configuration of a bypass LSP is similar to

that of a common LSP. However, a bypass LSP cannot be configured with FRR. That is, a bypass LSP

cannot act as a primary LSP to be protected by another LSP at the same time.
When specifying a bypass tunnel for an interface, make sure that:

The bypass tunnel is up.

The protected interface is not the outgoing interface of the bypass tunnel.

Up to three bypass tunnels can be specified for a protected interface. The best-fit algorithm is used to
determine which of them should be used in case failure occurs.
Your router has restriction on links that use the same bypass tunnel so that their total bandwidth does not

exceeds a specific value.
To configure a bypass tunnel on its PLR:
