Figure 110 Network diagram for IPv6 IS-IS FRR
In Figure 110, after you enable FRR on Router B, IPv6 IS-IS FRR automatically calculates or
designates a backup next hop when a link failure is detected. In this way, packets are directed to the
backup next hop to reduce traffic recovery time. Meanwhile, IPv6 IS-IS calculates the shortest path
based on the new network topology, and forwards packets over the path after network convergence.
You can assign a backup next hop for IPv6 IS-IS FRR in the following ways:
•
Enable IPv6 IS-IS FRR to calculate a backup next hop through Loop Free Alternate (LFA)
calculation.
•
Designate a backup next hop with a routing policy for routes matching specific criteria.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure IPv6 IS-IS FRR, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring nodes.
•
Enable IPv6 IS-IS.
•
Make sure the backup next hop is reachable.
