2 Prerequisites for MPLS Traffic Engineering - Fast Reroute Link Protection MPLS Traffic Engineering - Fast Reroute Link Protection Prerequisites for MPLS Traffic Engineering - Fast Reroute Link Protection Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)SNG or a later release that supports the MPLS TE-FRR link protection feature must be installed previously on the Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Router. You should enable the asr901-platf-frr command at the global configuration before using TE-FRR. Your network must support both the following Cisco IOS features before you can enable Fast Reroute link protection: IP Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Your network must also support at least one of the following protocols: Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Restrictions for MPLS Traffic Engineering - Fast Reroute Link Protection MPLS TE works only on the Switch Virtual Interface (SVI). MPLS TE-FRR feature is used only for link protection and not for node protection. MPLS deployments that allows 4-label push is not supported. When the TE-FRR deployments are in ring topology, hair-pinning can occur while trying to reach the destination during cutover. MPLS TE-FRR is not supported on layer 3 over layer 2 deployments. You cannot configure BFD and RSVP on the same interface. You should use the no l3-over-l2 flush buffers command before configuring MPLS TE-FRR feature. Path protection is not supported. Time-division multiplexing (TDM) psuedowire over TE-FRR is not supported. QoS is not supported on the MPLS TE tunnels. You cannot enable FRR hello messages on a router that also has Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) Graceful Restart enabled. Psuedowire redundancy over TE-FRR is not supported. CFM over Xconnect over TE-FRR is not supported. The imposition statistics will not work for EOMPLS after the FRR event or layer 3 cutover. 2

3 MPLS Traffic Engineering - Fast Reroute Link Protection MPLS TE-FRR Link Protection Overview MPLS TE-FRR Link Protection Overview The MPLS TE is supported on the Cisco ASR 901 router to enable only the FRR. The traffic engineering aspects of MPLS TE is currently not supported. The MPLS TE is the process of establishing and maintaining label-switched paths (LSPs) across the backbone using Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP). The path used by a given LSP at any point in time is based upon the LSP resource requirements and available network resources. The MPLS TE-FRR feature is useful for time critical applications like voice calls that require minimal loss of data during link failures. This feature is used to overcome the issue of convergence speed experienced by the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) fast timers. In the MPLS TE-FRR feature, backup tunnels are used to minimize the impact of link breakages. The point of failure can either be a head-end tunnel or a mid-point. In both the cases, the scope of recovery is local. The reroute decision is completely controlled locally by the router interfacing the failed link. The recovery is done by the node that listens to the failure. The node that detects the failure switches the traffic to the backup link with the least amount of delay. The following figure illustrates the FRR link protection. Figure 1: FRR Link Protection R2 Head-end of the tunnel R2-R6-R7-R3 Backup link R2-R3 Protected link R3 Tail-end of tunnel R2-R3 Primary link The MPLS TE-FRR feature supports the following: IP, L3VPN, and EoMPLS. Supports BFD sessions with 50ms interval. Single hop tunnel and multi-hop tunnel deployments. Auto-tunnel feature in primary and backup nodes. Targeted LDP sessions on tunnels. 3

4 BFD-triggered Fast Reroute MPLS Traffic Engineering - Fast Reroute Link Protection BFD-triggered Fast Reroute The MPLS Traffic Engineering: BFD-triggered Fast Reroute feature allows you to obtain link protection by using the BFD protocol. BFD BFD is a detection protocol designed to provide fast forwarding link failure detection times for all media types, encapsulations, topologies, and routing protocols. In addition to fast forwarding link failure detection, BFD provides a consistent failure detection method for network administrators. Because the network administrator can use BFD to detect forwarding link failures at a uniform rate, rather than the variable rates for different routing protocol Hello mechanisms, network profiling and planning is easier, and reconvergence time is consistent and predictable. Fast Reroute Fast Reroute is a mechanism for protecting MPLS TE LSPs from link failures by locally repairing the LSPs at the point of failure. This allows the data to continue to flow on them while their headend routers attempt to establish new end-to-end LSPs to replace them. FRR locally repairs the protected LSPs by rerouting them over backup tunnels that bypass failed links. Link Protection Backup tunnels that bypass only a single link of the LSP s path provide link protection. They protect LSPs if a link along their path fails by rerouting the LSP s traffic to the next hop (bypassing the failed link). These are referred to as next-hop (NHOP) backup tunnels because they terminate at the LSP s next hop beyond the point of failure.

Enabling Targeted LDP session over Primary one-hop Auto-Tunnels An MPLS LDP targeted session is a label distribution session between routers that are not directly connected. When you create an MPLS TE tunnel interface, you need to establish a label distribution session between the tunnel headend and the tailend routers. You establish non-directly connected MPLS LDP sessions by enabling the transmission of targeted Hello messages. The default behavior of an LSR is to ignore requests from other LSRs that send targeted Hello messages. You can configure an LSR to respond to requests for targeted Hello messages by using the mpls ldp discovery targeted-hello accept command. The active LSR mandates the protocol that is used for a targeted session. The passive LSR uses the protocol of the received targeted Hello messages. To enable targeted LDP sessions over primary one-hop auto-tunnels, perform the steps given below: Note For targeted mpls session, the head end tunnel should have mpls ip configuration. 13
