The

argument in the

route-static
command must be tunnel. In
addition, the preference value must be set.

II. Forwarding traffic along MPLS TE tunnels through automatic route
advertisement
Two approaches, IGP shortcut and forwarding adjacency, are available to automatic
route advertisement to advertise MPLS TE tunnel interface routes to IGPs, allowing
traffic to be routed down MPLS TE tunnels.
In either approach, TE tunnels are considered point-to-point links and TE tunnel
interfaces can be set as outgoing interfaces.
IGP shortcut and forwarding adjacency are different in that in the forwarding adjacency
approach, routes with TE tunnel interfaces as outgoing interfaces are advertised to
neighboring devices but not in the IGP shortcut approach. Therefore, TE tunnels are
visible to other devices in the forwarding adjacency approach but not in the IGP
shortcut approach.
You may assign a metric, either absolute or relative, to TE tunnels for the purpose of
path calculation in either approach. If it is absolute, the metric is directly used for path
calculation. If it is relative, the cost of the corresponding IGP path must be added to the
metric before it can be used for path calculation.

MPLS TE tunnels are not
considered in the

of IGP.
If no IGP type is specified,
the configuration applies
to both OSPF and IS-IS
by default.
