Configuring MPLS L3VPN FRR through VPNv4 route backup for a VPNv4 route
Network requirements
CE 1 and CE 2 belong to VPN 1.
Configure EBGP between CEs and PEs to exchange VPN routes.
Configure OSPF to ensure connectivity between PEs, and configure MP-IBGP to exchange VPNv4 routing information between PEs.
Configure MPLS L3VPN FRR on PE 1 to achieve the following purposes:
When the link PE 1—PE 2 operates correctly, traffic from CE 1 to CE 2 goes through the path CE 1—PE 1—PE 2—CE 2.
When BFD detects that the LSP between PE 1 and PE 2 fails, traffic from CE 1 to CE 2 goes through the path CE 1—PE 1—PE 3—CE 2.

Configuration procedure
Configure IP addresses and masks for interfaces as shown in Table 26, and configure BGP and MPLS L3VPN. (Details not shown.)
For more information about configuring basic MPLS L3VPN, see "Configuring basic MPLS L3VPN."
Configure MPLS L3VPN FRR on PE 1:
# Configure BFD to test the connectivity of the LSP to 2.2.2.2/32.

# Specify the preferred value as 100 for routes received from PE 2. This value is greater than the preferred value (0) for routes from PE 3, so PE 1 prefers the routes from PE 2.
