Configuring RIPng FRR

A link or router failure on a path can cause packet loss and even routing loop until RIPng completes routing convergence based on the new network topology. FRR enables fast rerouting to minimize the impact of link or node failures.

As shown in Figure 21, configure FRR on Router B by using a routing policy to specify a backup next hop. When the primary link fails, RIPng directs packets to the backup next hop. At the same time, RIPng calculates the shortest path based on the new network topology. Then, the device forwards packets over that path after network convergence.
