IS-IS FRR configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 45, Switch S, Switch A, and Switch D belong to the same IS-IS routing domain. Configure IS-IS FRR so that when the Link A fails, traffic can be switched to Link B immediately.

Figure 45: Network diagram

Configuration procedure

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

  2. Configure IS-IS 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 IS-IS FRR:

    Enable IS-IS FRR to automatically calculate a backup next hop, or designate a backup next hop by using a referenced routing policy.

    • (Method 1.) Enable IS-IS FRR to automatically calculate a backup next hop:

      # Configure Switch S.

      <SwitchS> system-view
      [SwitchS] bfd echo-source-ip 1.1.1.1
      [SwitchS] isis 1
      [SwitchS-isis-1] fast-reroute auto
      [SwitchS-isis-1] quit
      

      # Configure Switch D.

      <SwitchD> system-view
      [SwitchD] bfd echo-source-ip 4.4.4.4
      [SwitchD] isis 1
      [SwitchD-isis-1] fast-reroute auto
      [SwitchD-isis-1] quit
      
    • (Method 2.) Enable IS-IS FRR to designate a backup next hop by using a referenced routing policy:

      # 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] isis 1
      [SwitchS-isis-1] fast-reroute route-policy frr
      [SwitchS-isis-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] isis 1
      [SwitchD-isis-1] fast-reroute route-policy frr
      [SwitchD-isis-1] quit
