Configuring BGP FRR
When a link fails, the packets on the link are discarded, and a routing loop might occur until BGP
completes routing convergence based on the new network topology.
You can enable BGP fast reroute (FRR) to resolve this issue.
Figure 66 Network diagram for BGP FRR
After you configure FRR on Router B as shown in Figure 66, BGP generates a backup next hop
Router C for the primary route. BGP uses ARP (for IPv4), echo-mode BFD (for IPv4), or ND (for IPv6)
to detect the connectivity to Router D. When the link to Router D fails, BGP directs packets to the
backup next hop. At the same time, BGP calculates a new optimal route, and forwards packets over
the optimal route.
You can use the following methods to configure BGP FRR:
Backup nexthop: Router C
Router ENexthop: Router D
Router A Router B
