OSPF FRR configuration example

As shown in Figure 32, 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.

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

2. 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.)

3. 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] bfd echo-source-ip 2.2.2.2
     [SwitchA] ospf 1
     [SwitchA-ospf-1] fast-reroute lfa
     [SwitchA-ospf-1] quit
     

     # Configure Switch B.

     <SwitchB> system-view
     [SwitchB] bfd echo-source-ip 3.3.3.3
     [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] bfd echo-source-ip 1.1.1.1
     [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] bfd echo-source-ip 4.4.4.4
     [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
