backup-spf-options (Protocols OSPF)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure options for running the shortest-path-first (SPF) algorithm for backup next hops for protected interfaces. Use these options to override the default behavior of having Junos OS calculate backup paths for all the topologies in an instance when at least one interface is configured with link protection or node-link protection. These options also enable you to change the default behavior for a specific topology in an OSPF instance.

Options

disable

Do not calculate backup next hops for the specified instance or topology.

downstream-paths-only

Calculate and install only downstream paths as defined in RFC 5286, Basic Specification for IP Fast Reroute: Loop-Free Alternates for the specified instance or topology.

no-install

Do not install the backup next hops for the specified instance or topology.

node-link-degradation

Degrade an interface from node-link to link protection in case no node protection LFA route is found for a given destination node. A link protecting loop-free alternate (LFA) is used when node-link protecting LFA is not available in the topology for any of the protected links.

per-prefix-calculation

Calculate backup next hops for non-best prefix originators.

  • all—Calculate per-prefix loop free alternate (LFA) for all.

  • externals—Calculate per-prefix LFA for not-so-stubby and externals only.

  • stubs—Calculate per-prefix LFA for stubs only.

  • summary—Calculate per-prefix LFA for summary originators only.

remote-backup-calculation

Determine the remote LFA backup paths from the point of local repair (PLR) in an OSPF network. For every protected link on the PLR, Junos OS creates a dynamic LDP label-switched path to reach the remote LFA node. When the primary link fails, the PLR uses these remote LFA backup paths to reach all the destinations reachable through the primary-link.
