Cisco NCS 5500 Series Configuration Guides

FRR Remote LFA feature enables you to tunnel a packet around a failed link to a remote loop-free alternate
that is more than one hop away. In the figure above, the green arrow between A and D shows the tunnel that
is automatically created by the remote LFA feature to bypass looping.
Configuration
Perform the following tasks to configure FRR with LFA.
