Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.5.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.3R2 for EX Series switches.

Description

Specify the fast reroute priority for a VPLS routing instance. You can configure high, medium, or low fast reroute priority to prioritize specific VPLS routing instances for faster convergence and traffic restoration. Because the router repairs next hops for high-priority VPLS routing instances first, the traffic traversing a VPLS routing instance configured with high fast reroute priority is restored faster than the traffic for VPLS routing instances configured with medium or low fast reroute priority.

Note: In the VPLS documentation, the word router in terms such as PE router is used to refer to any device that provides routing functions.

Default

low

Options

high—Set the fast reroute priority for a VPLS routing instance to high. During a fast reroute event, the router repairs next hops for high-priority VPLS routing instances first.

low—Set the fast reroute priority for a VPLS routing instance to low, which is the default. During a fast reroute event, the router repairs next hops for low-priority VPLS routing instances last.

medium—Set the fast reroute priority for a VPLS routing instance to medium. During a fast reroute event, the router repairs next hops for medium-priority VPLS instances after high-priority VPLS routing instances but before low-priority VPLS routing instances.

Required Privilege Level

routing—To view this statement in the configuration.

routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
