Step Command

Remarks

4.

Set the Graceful
Restart interval.

graceful-restart interval timer

300 seconds by default.
The Graceful Restart interval is set as the

holding time in the hello PDUs. Within the
interval, the neighbors will keep their

adjacency with the GR Restarter.

5.

Suppress the SA bit
during restart.

graceful-restart suppress-sa

Optional.
By default, the SA bit is not suppressed.
By enabling the GR Restarter to suppress the
Suppress-Advertisement (SA) bit in the hello

PDUs, the neighbors will still advertise their

adjacency with the GR Restarter.

Configuring IS-IS FRR

NOTE:

Do not use FRR and BFD at the same time. Otherwise, FRR may fail to take effect.

The automatic backup next hop calculation of FRR and that of TE are mutually exclusive.

Introduction

When a link fails, the packets on the path are discarded, or a routing loop occurs until IS-IS completes

the routing convergence based on the new network topology.
You can enable IS-IS fast reroute (FRR) to reduce traffic recovery time.

Figure 63 Network diagram for IS-IS FRR

In

Figure 63

, 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 to 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, and make sure that all neighboring nodes are reachable at
the network layer.

Enable IS-IS.
