Configuring static route FRR

A link or router failure on a path can cause packet loss and even routing loop. Static route fast reroute (FRR) enables fast rerouting to minimize the impact of link or node failures.

Figure 1: Network diagram

As shown in Figure 1, upon a link failure, packets are directed to the backup next hop to avoid traffic interruption. You can either specify a backup next hop for FRR or enable FRR to automatically select a backup next hop (which must be configured in advance).
