IP Forward Backup Path for BGP-LS Peer SIDs

You can configure an IP forward backup path that provides protection at the local node or the point of local repair for egress peer engineering (EPE). When the primary segment goes down, the packet is forwarded to the configured IP backup path. This IP forward backup path has local node significance only. BGP does not send the IP forward backup path information to the controller in its periodic BGP LS updates. If you have configured both segment protection and IP forwarding backup path then backup segment protection takes precedence over the IP forwarding backup path protection. To configure IP forward backup path for BGP LS peer segments include the egress-te-backup-ip-forward option at the [edit bgp egress-te-segment-set], [edit bgp group group-name egress-te-node-segment], and [edit bgp group group-name egress-te-segment adj] hierarchy levels.
