Usage guidelines
FRR is used in a dual-homing network to protect a primary route with a backup route. It uses echo-mode
BFD (for IPv4) or ND (for IPv6) to detect the connectivity of the primary route. When the primary route
fails, BGP directs packets to the backup route.
After you enable FRR, BGP calculates a backup route for a BGP route in the address family if there are
two or more unequal-cost routes to reach the destination.
You can also configure BGP FRR by using the fast-reroute route-policy command, which takes
precedence over the pic command. For more information about routing policies, see Layer 3—IP Routing
Configuration Guide.
Use the pic command with caution because it might cause routing loops in specific scenarios.

[Sysname] bgp 100
