Global Revertiveness

NOTE

Local revertiveness is not supported in this release.

When failover happens, traffic continues to flow in backup. When global revertiveness for FRR is
configured, a new LSP is created from the ingress after the ingress learns about the failover. The
new LSP is protected with a backup LSP, if possible. When the primary LSP fails for the second
time, it may still be protected when there is a backup path available.

When secondary path is configured along with global revertive configuration, then when new
instance of global revertive is triggered, the secondary path is also triggered. After “n” number of
retries configured by user for establishing new instance for global revertiveness, traffic switches to
the secondary path. The retry limit is configured in mpls policy mode. When the retry limit is not
configured, then new instance establishment is tried infinite times.

Configuring global revertiveness

Global revertiveness is enabled by default for LSPs with FRR and adaptive enabled. The revertive
mode global command can be executed only on LSPs with FRR and adaptive enabled. To enable
global revertiveness, enter commands such as the following.

NOTE

When adaptive is disabled, then global revertiveness is also disabled.

Brocade(config-mpls)# lsp t1

Brocade(config-mpls-lsp-t1)# adaptive

Brocade(config-mpls-lsp-t1)# frr

Brocade(config-mpls-lsp-t1-frr)# revertive mode global

Syntax: [no] revertive mode global

The [no] option disables global revertiveness on an LSP.
