backup-selection (Protocols OSPF)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Define backup selection policies, per prefix per primary next-hop interface, to enforce loop-free alternate (LFA) selection based on admin-group, srlg, bandwidth, protection-type, node, and metric attributes of the backup path.

Options

destination prefix

Define the backup selection policy for a particular destination prefix or for all the prefixes. The value prefix defines the destination prefix name and prefix length. You can specify 0/0 for the IPv4 least-specific prefix or 0::0/0 for the IPv6 least-specific prefix.

node

Define a list of loop-back IP addresses of the adjacent nodes to either prefer or exclude in the backup path selection. The node can be a local (adjacent router) node, remote node, or any other router in the backup path.

Note:

The nodes are identified through the route-id advertised by a node in the LSP.

exclude [ node-address ]

Specify one or more nodes to be excluded. The backup path that has a router from the list is not selected as the loop-free alternative or backup next hop.

preference [ node-address ]

Define an ordered set of one or more nodes to be preferred. The backup path having the leftmost node is selected.

The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.
