Figure 39 Network diagram for IS-IS FRR
In Figure 39, after you enable FRR on Router B, IS-IS 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, IS-IS calculates the shortest path based on the new network topology,
and forwards packets over the path after network convergence.
You can either enable IS-IS FRR to calculate a backup next hop automatically, or designate a backup next
hop with a routing policy for routes matching specific criteria.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure IS-IS FRR, complete the following tasks:
• Configure IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring nodes.
• Enable IS-IS.
Configuration guidelines
• Do not use FRR and BFD at the same time. Otherwise, FRR might fail to take effect.
• The automatic backup next hop calculation of FRR and that of TE are mutually exclusive.

Configuring IS-IS FRR using a routing policy
You can use the apply fast-reroute backup-interface command to specify a backup next hop in a routing
policy for routes matching specific criteria, and perform this task to reference the routing policy for IS-IS
