Configuring RIP FRR

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 14, Switch S, Switch A, and Switch D run RIPv2. Configure RIP FRR so that when Link A becomes unidirectional, services can be switched to Link B immediately.

Figure 14: Network diagram

Configuration procedure

  1. Configure IP addresses and subnet masks for interfaces on the switches. (Details not shown.)

  2. Configure RIPv2 on the switches to make sure Switch A, Switch D, and Switch S can communicate with each other at Layer 3. (Details not shown.)

  3. Configure RIP FRR:

    # Configure Switch S.

    <SwitchS> system-view
    [SwitchS] bfd echo-source-ip 1.1.1.1
    [SwitchS] ip prefix-list abc index 10 permit 4.4.4.4 32
    [SwitchS] route-policy frr permit node 10
    [SwitchS-route-policy-frr-10] if-match ip address prefix-list abc
    [SwitchS-route-policy-frr-10] apply fast-reroute backup-interface vlan-interface 100 backup-nexthop 12.12.12.2
    [SwitchS-route-policy-frr-10] quit
    [SwitchS] rip 1
    [SwitchS-rip-1] fast-reroute route-policy frr
    [SwitchS-rip-1] quit
    

    # Configure Switch D.

    <SwitchD> system-view
    [SwitchD] bfd echo-source-ip 4.4.4.4
    [SwitchD] ip prefix-list abc index 10 permit 1.1.1.1 32
    [SwitchD] route-policy frr permit node 10
    [SwitchD-route-policy-frr-10] if-match ip address prefix-list abc
    [SwitchD-route-policy-frr-10] apply fast-reroute backup-interface vlan-interface 101 backup-nexthop 24.24.24.2
    [SwitchD-route-policy-frr-10] quit
    [SwitchD] rip 1
    [SwitchD-rip-1] fast-reroute route-policy frr
    [SwitchD-rip-1] quit
