Enabling an AutoTunnel Backup
Perform this task to configure the AutoTunnel Backup feature. By default, this feature is disabled. You can
configure the AutoTunnel Backup feature for each interface. It has to be explicitly enabled for each interface
or link.

DETAILED STEPS
Purpose
Command or Action
Enters global configuration mode.
configure
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
Step 1
Configures the globally configured IPv4 address that can be used
by the AutoTunnel Backup Tunnels.
ipv4 unnumbered mpls traffic-eng Loopback 0
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#ipv4
unnumbered mpls traffic-eng Loopback 0
Step 2
Loopback 0 is the router ID. The AutoTunnel Backup
tunnels will not come up until a global IPv4 address is
configured.
Note
Enters MPLS-TE configuration mode.
mpls traffic-eng
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# mpls
traffic-eng
Step 3
Configures how frequently a timer scans the backup automatic
tunnels and removes tunnels that are not in use.
auto-tunnel backup timers removal unused
frequency
Step 4
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mpls-te)#
auto-tunnel backup timers removal unused
20
•
Use the frequency argument to scan the backup automatic
tunnel. Range is 0 to 10080.
You can also configure the auto-tunnel backup command
at mpls traffic-eng interface mode.
