Configuring Static PIC

To configure Static Prefix Independent Convergence, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the Configuration Mode.
    SLX # configure terminal
    SLX (config) #
  2. Execute the prefix-independent-convergence-static command to enable Static PIC.
    SLX (config)#prefix-independent-convergence-static
    SLX (config)#
    %Warning: Please run "clear ip[v6] route all vrf <vrf name>" for all static routes configured in VRFs
  3. Exit out of the Configuration Mode.
    SLX (config)# exit
    SLX #

When configured, if there is a link fail, the traffic is switched over ICL to the configured backup Border Leaf.

Example

This example configures Static PIC.

SLX (config)# prefix-independent-convergence-static
SLX (config)# 
%Warning: Please run "clear ip[v6] route all vrf <vrf name>" for all static routes configured in VRFs
