Preparation
Increase the metric on the P2
router toward P3
on the P2-P3
link and shut down the P8-P4
interface on the P8
router. This adjustment causes the P8
router to use the P2-P3
link to reach the PE5
router.
On router P2
, increase the metric toward router P3
from 10
to 100
:
P2
router isis IGP interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0 address-family ipv4 unicast metric 100
Additionally, shut down the interface on P8
toward P4
:
P8
router isis IGP interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/1 shutdown
This configuration should result in no backup path from P2
to PE5
, as shown below.
