I have a network on which I need to configure a main and redundant path. How far is it possible with the Dijkstra algorithm to exclude in the redundant path the switch locations used in the main path?

The JSON which allows you to define the Dijkstra configuration includes a 'TransportLink' property which optionally can be added to force the network path to include or exclude interfaces from another transport function in the service definition.
Contains:
- Function: The other transport function of which the interfaces should be
included or excluded. - Option: Should be set to Exclude or Include, depending on whether
you want the interfaces to be excluded or included. - Strictly: If set to false, all paths will be displayed. In that case, depending
on the Option configuration, either all the paths that exclude the interfaces used in the linked path or all the paths that include those interfaces will be shown with highest priority.
