Procedure 4: Programming ILM/NHLFE for duplicate prefix-SID indexes/labels for different prefixes

Two variations of this procedure can occur.

  1. For received duplicate prefix-SID indexes or labels for different prefixes within the same IGP instance, the router does the following:

    • programs ILM/NHLFE for the first prefix

    • logs a trap and a syslog error message

    • does not program the subsequent prefix in the datapath

  2. For received duplicate prefix-SID indexes for different prefixes across IGP instances, there are two options:

    • In the global SID index range mode of operation, the resulting ILM label values are the same across the IGP instances. The router does the following:

      • programs ILM/NHLFE for the prefix of the winning IGP instance based on the RTM route type preference

      • logs a trap and a syslog error message

      • does not program the subsequent prefix SIDs in the datapath

    • In the per-instance SID index range mode of operation, the resulting ILM label will have different values across the IGP instances. The router programs ILM/NHLFE for each prefix as expected.
