Chapter 34 Configuring MPLS, MPLS VPN, MPLS OAM, and EoMPLS
Configuring MPLS Traffic Engineering and Fast Reroute
Enter no mpls traffic-eng tunnels to disable MPLS traffic engineering tunnels on the switch or
interface. Enter the no rsvp bandwidth interface configuration command to return to the default.
Configuring an MPLS TE Tunnel
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure an MPLS traffic engineering
tunnel. The configured tunnel has two path setup options—a preferred explicit path and a backup
dynamic path.
Step 6
ip rsvp bandwidth bandwidth
Enable RSVP for IP on an interface and the maximum amount of
bandwidth, in kb/s, that may be allocated by RSVP flows. The range
is from 1 to 10000000. The default is 75% of the link bandwidth.
Step 7
ip rsvp signalling hello
(Optional) Enable Hello signalling on the interface.
Step 8
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 9
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface tunnel tunnel-id
Enter interface configuration mode for a tunnel interface.
Step 3
ip unnumbered loopback0
Configure the tunnel source address to be the IP address of the
loopback0 interface. The command is not effective until loopback0
is configured with an IP address.
Step 4
tunnel destination A.B.C.D
Specify the destination for a tunnel.
Step 5
tunnel mode mpls traffic-eng
Set the encapsulation mode of the tunnel to MPLS traffic
engineering.
Step 6
tunnel mpls traffic-eng autoroute
announce
Specify that the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) should use the
tunnel (if the tunnel is up) in its enhanced shortest path first (SPF)
calculation.
Step 7
tunnel mpls traffic-eng priority
Configure the setup and reservation priority for an MPLS TE tunnel.
Step 8
tunnel mpls traffic-eng bandwidth
bandwidth
Configure the bandwidth, in kb/s per second, set aside for the MPLS
traffic engineering tunnel. The range is from 1 to 4294967295 kb/s.
The default is 0.
Step 9
tunnel mpls traffic-eng fast-reroute
(Optional) Enable this option if you are configuring fast reroute.
Step 10
tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option 1
explicit name
name
Configure a named IP explicit path.
Step 11
tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option 2
dynamic
Configure a backup path to be dynamically calculated from the
traffic engineering topology database.
Step 12
exit
Return to global configuration mode.
Step 13
ip explicit-path name name
Specify the IP explicit path name, and enter IP explicit path
configuration mode. An IP explicit path is a list of IP addresses, each
representing a node or link in the explicit path.
Step 14
next-address A.B.C.E
Specify the next IP address in the explicit path.
Step 15
next-address A.B.C.F
Specify the second IP address in the explicit path.
