DETAILED STEPS
Purpose
Command or Action
Enters global configuration mode.
configure
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
Step 1
Configures an MPLS-TE tunnel interface.
interface tunnel-te tunnel-id
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#
interface tunnel-te 1
Step 2
Enables fast reroute.
fast-reroute
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)#
fast-reroute
Step 3
Exits the current configuration mode.
exit
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)#
exit
Step 4
Enters MPLS-TE configuration mode.
mpls traffic-eng
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#
mpls traffic-eng
Step 5
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mpls-te)#
Enables traffic engineering on a particular interface on the
originating node.
interface type interface-path-id
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mpls-te)#
interface
Step 6
pos0/6/0/0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mpls-te-if)#
Sets the backup path to the backup tunnel.
backup-path tunnel-te tunnel-number
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mpls-te-if)#
Step 7
