OSPF Backup Route Metric is 0

Kevin McCormick
Level 1
Level 1

I have two ASR 9006 routers (R2 and R3) and an ASR 9001 router (R1) connected in a ring. 
      R1
   /       \
R2 ---  R3

We have bfd and fast-reroute configured on all three routers.
All routers have in area 0 the loopback and the physical point to point interfaces.

We have a cost of 100 set on the physical interfaces of R1.
The link between R2 and R3 is a bundle interface with a cost of 50.

R1 loopback 10.226.13.5
R2 loopback 10.233.171.80
R3 loopback 10.233.171.81

When we do a show route to the loopback interfaces on R2 and R3 everything looks normal.

So we are seeing the protected route with metric 101 and backup local-lfa with metric 151 with the path R2 to R1 and R3 to R1, which is expected.

The issue is with R1 to R2 or R3 is showing a backup that is not a local-lfa and has the backup metric set to 0.

Any ideas why the backup routes on R1 are not local-lfa and not a metric of 151?
