You can also configure your LSP to use fast reroute for fast failover.  Last time I checked you could not tell a VLL to use a defined LSP like you can do with a VPLS.  I think a work around is to map a COS to the LSP and VLL.

There is also the *dirty* way of doing it - create a new loopback
device, and do a new LSP between those two loopbacks, then set the VLL
to that loopback. It will then take the alternative route.

A manual way of steering of VLLs into certain LSPs would certainly be
welcomed from Brocade, however.
