Hi,

As the following figure, AR34 is an IS-IS Level-1 router, and AR30 and AR31 are IS-IS Level-1-2 routers. Two IS-IS default routes are generated on AR34. How can I configure the two default routes to work in active/standby mode? In normal cases, only the route to AR30 is available, and the route to AR31 functions as the standby route.

Hi,

The nexthop command is used to set the preference of equal-cost routes. After this command is used, an IS-IS device does not load balance traffic when forwarding the traffic. Instead, the device forwards the traffic to the next hop with the highest preference.

You can set different preferences for the two routes. (A smaller preference value indicates a higher preference.) Alternatively, you can set a preference for only the route to AR31 so that it will be preferentially selected.
