Configuring Bit-Error-Triggered IGP Route Switching
This section describes how to configure bit-error-triggered IGP route switching.
Usage Scenario
After bit-error-triggered IGP route switching is configured, if bit errors are generated on an interface, the link quality level of the interface changes to Low, triggering an IGP (OSPF or IS-IS) to increase the cost of the interface's link. IGP routes then do not preferentially select the link with bit errors. You can set different values for the bit error alarm and alarm clear thresholds. For example, to prevent jitters, set the alarm clear threshold to be one order of magnitude lower than the bit error alarm threshold. Bit-error-triggered IGP route switching ensures that the link with a lower BER is used to transmit traffic, minimizing the impact of bit errors on services.
Bit-error-triggered IGP route switching and section switching are mutually exclusive. Before you configure bit-error-triggered IGP route switching on an interface, ensure that bit-error-triggered section switching is not configured on the interface.
- Configuring an IPv4 IS-IS Interface to Automatically Adjust the Link Cost
Configuring an IS-IS interface to automatically adjust the link cost based on link quality facilitates route selection control and improves network reliability. - Configuring an OSPF Interface to Automatically Adjust the Link Cost
Configuring an OSPF interface to automatically adjust the link cost based on link quality facilitates route selection control and improves network reliability. - Verifying the Configuration of Bit-Error-Triggered IGP Route Switching
After configuring bit-error-triggered IGP route switching, verify the configurations.
