Abstract
An information handling system is provided. The information handling system includes a first, a second, a third, and a fourth network device. The first network device is coupled to the second network device and to the third network device, while the fourth network device is also coupled to the second and third network devices. At least the fourth network device has a plurality of interfaces and one or more processors in communication with the interfaces and a memory. At least one of the one or more processors is configured to disassociate a network address of the first network device from a first VRF instance and associate the network address of the first network device with a second VRF instance when a network failure associated with the first VRF instance is detected. Methods for rerouting traffic through the information handling system in response to a network event are also disclosed.
