# Execute the tracert command to draw the picture of the path that a packet must travel to reach
the tunnel destination.

The output shows that the current LSP traverses Switch B but not Switch D.
# Shut down VLAN-interface 2 on Switch B. Execute the tracert command on Switch A to draw the

The output shows that the LSP is re-routed to traverse Switch D.
# Execute the display mpls te tunnel command on Switch A. You can see that only the tunnel

Configuring ordinary CR-LSP backup is almost the same as configuring hot CR-LSP backup except
that you replace the mpls te backup hot-standby command with the mpls te backup ordinary
command. Unlike in hot CR-LSP backup where a secondary tunnel is created immediately upon
creation of a primary tunnel, in ordinary CR-LSP backup, a secondary CR-LSP is created only after
the primary LSP goes down.
6. Direct traffic to the MPLS TE tunnel:
# Create a static route to direct traffic to the MPLS TE tunnel.
[SwitchA] ip route-static 20.1.1.2 24 tunnel 1 preference 1
# Execute the display ip routing-table command on Switch A. You can see a static route entry with
Tunnel1 as the outgoing interface.
FRR configuration example
Network requirements
On a primary LSP Switch A—Switch B—Switch C—Switch D, use FRR to protect the link Switch B—Switch
C.
Create a bypass LSP that traverses the path Switch B—Switch E—Switch C. Switch B is the PLR and Switch
C is the MP.
Explicitly route the primary TE tunnel and the bypass TE tunnel with the signaling protocol being RSVP-TE.
