(Optional) Enabling the Coexistence of ECMP and FRR

The coexistence of ECMP and FRR can be enabled so that protection paths can be established for ECMP paths, preventing traffic loss stemming from an ECMP path disconnection.

Context

On a network with ECMP enabled, the same types of devices reside on both end of ECMP links. If an optical fiber between the two devices is disconnected, network-wide protection fails because backup path calculation is not supported. To prevent traffic loss from such a disconnection, enable the coexistence of ECMP and FRR so that protection paths can be established for ECMP paths.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    Enter the system view.

  2. Run mpls ldp

    Enter the MPLS-LDP view.

  3. Run ecmp-frr-coexist enable

    Enable the coexistence of ECMP and FRR.

  4. Run commit

    Commit the configuration.
