Configuring basic IP routing
IP routing directs IP packet forwarding on routers based on a routing table. This chapter focuses on
unicast routing protocols. For more information about multicast routing protocols, see IP Multicast
Configuration Guide.
Routing table
A RIB contains the global routing information and related information, including route recursion, route
redistribution, and route extension information. The router selects optimal routes from the routing
table and puts them into the FIB table. It uses the FIB table to forward packets. For more information
about the FIB table, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.
Table 1 categorizes routes by different criteria.
Table 1 Route categories
Criterion Categories
Destination
• Network route—The destination is a network. The subnet mask is less than 32
bits.
• Host route—The destination is a host. The subnet mask is 32 bits.
Whether the
destination is directly
connected
• Direct route—The destination is directly connected.
• Indirect route—The destination is indirectly connected.
Origin
• Direct route—A direct route is discovered by the data link protocol on an
interface, and is also called an interface route.
• Static route—A static route is manually configured by an administrator.
• Dynamic route—A dynamic route is dynamically discovered by a routing
protocol.
To view brief information about a routing table, use the display ip routing-table command.
<Sysname> display ip routing-table
Destinations : 9 Routes : 9
Destination/Mask Proto Pre Cost NextHop Interface
0.0.0.0/32 Direct 0 0 127.0.0.1 InLoop0
3.3.3.3/32 Direct 0 0 127.0.0.1 InLoop0
127.0.0.0/8 Direct 0 0 127.0.0.1 InLoop0
127.0.0.0/32 Direct 0 0 127.0.0.1 InLoop0
127.0.0.1/32 Direct 0 0 127.0.0.1 InLoop0
127.255.255.255/32 Direct 0 0 127.0.0.1 InLoop0
...
A route entry includes the following key items:
• Destination—IP address of the destination host or network.
• Mask—Mask length of the IP address.
• Proto—Protocol that installed the route.
• Pre—Preference of the route. Among routes to the same destination, the route with the highest
preference is optimal.
2
• Cost—If multiple routes to a destination have the same preference, the one with the smallest
cost is the optimal route.
• NextHop—Next hop.
• Interface—Output interface.
Dynamic routing protocols
Static routes work well in small, stable networks. They are easy to configure and require fewer
system resources. However, in networks where topology changes occur frequently, a typical practice
is to configure a dynamic routing protocol. Compared with static routing, a dynamic routing protocol
is complicated to configure, requires more router resources, and consumes more network resources.
Dynamic routing protocols dynamically collect and report reachability information to adapt to
topology changes. They are suitable for large networks.
Dynamic routing protocols can be classified by different criteria, as shown in Table 2.
Table 2 Categories of dynamic routing protocols
Criterion Categories
Operation scope
• IGPs—Work within an AS. Examples include RIP, OSPF, and IS-IS.
• EGPs—Work between ASs. The most popular EGP is BGP.
Routing algorithm
• Distance-vector protocols—Examples include RIP and BGP. BGP is also
considered a path-vector protocol.
• Link-state protocols—Examples include OSPF and IS-IS.
Destination address
type
• Unicast routing protocols—Examples include RIP, OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS.
• Multicast routing protocols—Examples include PIM-SM and PIM-DM.
IP version
• IPv4 routing protocols—Examples include RIP, OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS.
• IPv6 routing protocols—Examples include RIPng, OSPFv3, IPv6 BGP, and
IPv6 IS-IS.
An AS refers to a group of routers that use the same routing policy and work under the same
administration.
Route preference
Routing protocols, including static and direct routing, each by default have a preference. If they find
multiple routes to the same destination, the router selects the route with the highest preference as
the optimal route.
The preference of a direct route is always 0 and cannot be changed. You can configure a preference
for each static route and each dynamic routing protocol. The following table lists the route types and
default preferences. The smaller the value, the higher the preference.
Table 3 Route types and default route preferences
Route type Preference
Direct route 0
Multicast static route 1
OSPF 10
IS-IS 15
3
Route type Preference
Unicast static route 60
RIP 100
OSPF ASE 150
OSPF NSSA 150
IBGP 255
EBGP 255
Unknown (route from an untrusted source) 256
Load sharing
A routing protocol might find multiple optimal equal-cost routes to the same destination. You can use
these routes to implement equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) load sharing.
Static routing, IPv6 static routing, RIP, RIPng, OSPF, OSPFv3, BGP, IPv6 BGP, IS-IS, and IPv6 IS-IS
support ECMP load sharing.
Route backup
Route backup can improve network availability. Among multiple routes to the same destination, the
route with the highest priority is the primary route and others are secondary routes.
The router forwards matching packets through the primary route. When the primary route fails, the
route with the highest preference among the secondary routes is selected to forward packets. When
the primary route recovers, the router uses it to forward packets.
Route recursion
To use a BGP, static, or RIP route that has an indirectly connected next hop, a router must perform
route recursion to find the output interface to reach the next hop.
Link-state routing protocols, such as OSPF and IS-IS, do not need route recursion, because they
obtain directly connected next hops through route calculation.
The RIB records and saves route recursion information, including brief information about related
routes, recursive paths, and recursion depth.
Route redistribution
Route redistribution enables routing protocols to learn routing information from each other. A
dynamic routing protocol can redistribute routes from other routing protocols, including direct and
static routing. For more information, see the respective chapters on those routing protocols in this
configuration guide.
The RIB records redistribution relationships of routing protocols.
4
Extension attribute redistribution
Extension attribute redistribution enables routing protocols to learn route extension attributes from
each other, including BGP extended community attributes, OSPF area IDs, route types, and router
IDs.
The RIB records extended attributes of each routing protocol and redistribution relationships of
different routing protocol extended attributes.
Setting the maximum lifetime for routes and labels
in the RIB
Perform this task to prevent routes of a certain protocol from being aged out due to slow protocol
convergence resulting from a large number of route entries or long GR period.
The configuration takes effect at the next protocol or RIB process switchover.
To set the maximum lifetime for routes and labels in the RIB (IPv4):
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter RIB view. rib N/A
3. Create the RIB IPv4 address
family and enter its view. address-family ipv4 By default, no RIB IPv4
address family exists.
4. Set the maximum lifetime for
IPv4 routes and labels in the
RIB.

By default, the maximum
lifetime for routes and labels
in the RIB is 480 seconds.
Setting the maximum lifetime for routes in the FIB
When GR or NSR is disabled, FIB entries must be retained for some time after a protocol process
switchover or RIB process switchover. When GR or NSR is enabled, FIB entries must be removed
immediately after a protocol or RIB process switchover to avoid routing issues. Perform this task to
meet such requirements.
To set the maximum lifetime for routes in the FIB (IPv4):
5
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter RIB view. rib N/A
3. Create the RIB IPv4 address
family and enter its view. address-family ipv4 By default, no RIB IPv4
address family exists.
4. Set the maximum lifetime for
IPv4 routes in the FIB. fib lifetime seconds By default, the maximum
lifetime for routes in the FIB
is 600 seconds.
To set the maximum lifetime for routes in the FIB (IPv6):
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter RIB view. rib N/A
3. Create the RIB IPv6 address
family and enter its view. address-family ipv6 By default, no RIB IPv6
address family exists.
4. Set the maximum lifetime for
IPv6 routes in the FIB. fib lifetime seconds By default, the maximum
lifetime for routes in the FIB
is 600 seconds.
Enabling the RIB to flush route attribute
information to the FIB
This feature is available only for BGP routes in the current software version. You can configure this
feature when using sFlow to monitor BGP traffic. For more information about BGP path attributes
and sFlow, see Layer 3
—
IP Routing Configuration Guide and Network Management and Monitoring
Configuration Guide.
To enable RIB to flush route attribute information to the FIB:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter RIB view. rib N/A
3. Create the RIB IPv4 address
family and enter its view. address-family ipv4 By default, no RIB IPv4
address family exists.
4. Enable the RIB to flush route
attribute information to the
FIB. flush route-attribute protocol By default, the RIB does not
flush route attribute
information to the FIB.
Setting the maximum number of ECMP routes
This configuration takes effect at reboot. Make sure the reboot does not impact your network.
To set the maximum number of ECMP routes:
6
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Set the maximum number of
ECMP routes. max-ecmp-num number By default, the maximum
number of ECMP routes is 8.
Configuring the ECMP mode
This configuration takes effect at reboot. Make sure the reboot does not impact your network.
Enabling the enhanced ECMP mode
About the enhanced ECMP mode
When one or multiple ECMP routes fail, the default ECMP mode enables the device to reallocate all
traffic to the remaining routes.
The enhanced ECMP mode enables the device to reallocate only the traffic of the failed routes to the
remaining routes, which ensures forwarding continuity.
Procedure
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enable the enhanced ECMP
mode. ecmp mode enhanced By default, the enhanced
ECMP mode is disabled.
Enabling the compressed ECMP mode
About the compressed ECMP mode
An ECMP route group contains ECMP routes to the same destination. When the hardware resources
used by all ECMP route groups on the device reach the upper limit, no more ECMP route groups can
be created.
This feature enables the device to compress the hardware resources of all ECMP route groups to
save storage space for more ECMP route groups.
Procedure
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enable the compressed
ECMP mode. ecmp mode compressed By default, the compressed
ECMP mode is disabled.
Configuring RIB NSR
IMPORTANT:
Use this feature with protocol GR or NSR to avoid route timeouts and traffic interruption.
7
When an active/standby switchover occurs, nonstop routing (NSR) backs up routing information
from the active process to the standby process to avoid routing flapping and ensure forwarding
continuity.
RIB NSR provides faster route convergence than protocol NSR during an active/standby switchover.
Configuring IPv4 RIB NSR
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter RIB view. rib N/A
3. Create the RIB IPv4 address
family and enter its view. address-family ipv4 By default, no RIB IPv4
address family exists.
4. Enable IPv4 RIB NSR. non-stop-routing By default, RIB NSR is
disabled.

Configuring inter-protocol FRR
CAUTION:
This feature uses the next hop of a route from a different protocol as the backup next hop for the
faulty route, which might cause loops.
Inter-protocol fast reroute (FRR) enables fast rerouting between routes of different protocols. A
backup next hop is automatically selected to reduce the service interruption time caused by
unreachable next hops. When the next hop of the primary link fails, the traffic is redirected to the
backup next hop.
Among the routes to the same destination in the RIB, a router adds the route with the highest
preference to the FIB table. For example, if a static route and an OSPF route in the RIB have the
same destination, the router adds the OSPF route to the FIB table by default. The next hop of the
static route is selected as the backup next hop for the OSPF route. When the next hop of the OSPF
route is unreachable, the backup next hop is used.
Configuring IPv4 RIB inter-protocol FRR

Enabling support for IPv6 routes with prefixes
longer than 64 bits
This feature takes effect at next reboot. Make sure the reboot does not impact your network.
To enable support for IPv6 routes with prefixes longer than 64 bits:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enable support for IPv6
routes with prefixes longer
than 64 bits.

routing-mode { ipv6-64 |
ipv6-128 }
By default, the device does not
support IPv6 routes with prefixes
longer than 64 bits.
Configuring routing policy-based recursive lookup
When a route changes, the routing protocol has to perform a route recursion if the next hop is
indirectly connected. The routing protocol might select an incorrect path, which can cause traffic loss.
To prevent this problem, you can use a routing policy to verify the recursive route. If the recursive
route fails to match the routing policy, the routing protocol invalidates the route and marks it as
unreachable.
