OSPF FRR configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 34, Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C reside in the same OSPF domain. Configure OSPF FRR so that when the link between Switch A and Switch B fails, traffic is immediately switched to Link B.

Device | Interface | IP address |
---|---|---|
Switch A | Vlan-int100 | 12.12.12.1/24 |
Switch A | Vlan-int200 | 13.13.13.1/24 |
Switch A | Loop0 | 1.1.1.1/32 |
Switch B | Vlan-int101 | 24.24.24.4/24 |
Switch B | Vlan-int200 | 13.13.13.2/24 |
Switch B | Loop0 | 4.4.4.4/32 |
Switch C | Vlan-int100 | 12.12.12.2/24 |
Switch C | Vlan-int101 | 24.24.24.2/24 |
Configuration procedure
Configure IP addresses and subnet masks for interfaces on the switches. (Details not shown.)
Configure OSPF on the switches to ensure that Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C can communicate with each other at the network layer. (Details not shown.)
Configure OSPF FRR to automatically calculate the backup next hop:
You can enable OSPF FRR to either calculate a backup next hop by using the LFA algorithm, or specify a backup next hop by using a routing policy.
(Method 1.) Enable OSPF FRR to calculate the backup next hop by using the LFA algorithm:
# Configure Switch A.
<SwitchA> system-view [SwitchA] ospf 1 [SwitchA-ospf-1] fast-reroute lfa [SwitchA-ospf-1] quit
# Configure Switch B.
<SwitchB> system-view [SwitchB] ospf 1 [SwitchB-ospf-1] fast-reroute lfa [SwitchB-ospf-1] quit
(Method 2.) Enable OSPF FRR to designate a backup next hop by using a routing policy.
# Configure Switch A.
<SwitchA> system-view [SwitchA] ip prefix-list abc index 10 permit 4.4.4.4 32 [SwitchA] route-policy frr permit node 10 [SwitchA-route-policy-frr-10] if-match ip address prefix-list abc [SwitchA-route-policy-frr-10] apply fast-reroute backup-interface vlan-interface 100 backup-nexthop 12.12.12.2 [SwitchA-route-policy-frr-10] quit [SwitchA] ospf 1 [SwitchA-ospf-1] fast-reroute route-policy frr [SwitchA-ospf-1] quit
# Configure Switch B.
<SwitchB> system-view [SwitchB] ip prefix-list abc index 10 permit 1.1.1.1 32 [SwitchB] route-policy frr permit node 10 [SwitchB-route-policy-frr-10] if-match ip address prefix-list abc [SwitchB-route-policy-frr-10] apply fast-reroute backup-interface vlan-interface 101 backup-nexthop 24.24.24.2 [SwitchB-route-policy-frr-10] quit [SwitchB] ospf 1 [SwitchB-ospf-1] fast-reroute route-policy frr [SwitchB-ospf-1] quit
