Discovery 8: Configure and Verify SR TI-LFA Using OSPF
This topic details the lab activity for Discovery 8: Configure and Verify SR TI-LFA Using OSPF.
Objective: Configure and verify SR TI-LFA using OSPF
In this lab exercise, you will configure and verify the operation of TI-LFA Fast Reroute using the OSPF
routing protocol. You will verify TI-LFA FRR for zero-segment, single-segment, and double-segment
protection.

Activity Objective
After completing this activity, you will be able to meet these objectives:
 Verify Segment Routing configuration in the OSPF routing protocol and examine Cisco Express
Forwarding and MPLS entries
 Configure TI-LFA with FRR in the OSPF routing protocol
 Configure TI-LFA to employ the zero-segment protection
 Configure TI-LFA to employ the single segment protection
 Configure TI-LFA to employ the double segment protection

Visual Objective
The following are the preconfigured lab tasks:
 All routers have OSPF configured for full reachability.
 All routers have MPLS SR configured.
 There is no MPLS LDP configured.

This visual objective represents Tasks 1 through 3:

This visual objective represents task 4:

This visual objective represents Task 5:

Topology

The student pod is accessible through the Cisco Learning Services Lab Portal at https://htdlab.cisco.com.
Each pod has access to the following:
 A virtualized Linux management jump host to facilitate access to all routers.
 Virtualized routers that are based on Cisco IOS XR and that consist of four PE routers, two P routers,
and four CE routers.

© 2022 Cisco Systems, Inc. Course Administration Guide 37


You can access the virtualized Cisco IOS XR routers by using the Terminal on the jump host. Once you are
on the jump host open the Terminal and type in the host name (lowercase) of the router, this will open the
SSH session to the router.
