Configuring static route FRR
A link or router failure on a path can cause packet loss and even routing loop. Static route fast reroute
(FRR) enables fast rerouting to minimize the impact of link or node failures.
Figure 1 Network diagram
As shown in Figure 1, upon a link failure, FRR specifies a backup next hop by using a routing policy for
routes matching the specified criteria. Packets are directed to the backup next hop to avoid traffic
interruption.
Configuration guidelines
• Do not use static route FRR and BFD (for a static route) at the same time.
• Static route does not take effect when the backup output interface is unavailable.
• Equal-cost routes do not support FRR.
• The backup output interface and next hop cannot be modified directly or the same as the primary
output interface and next hop.
Configuration procedure
To configure static route FRR:
