Configuring a static CRLSP
Overview
A static Constraint-based Routed Label Switched Path (CRLSP) is established by manually
specifying CRLSP setup information on the ingress, transit, and egress nodes of the forwarding path.
The CRLSP setup information includes the incoming label, outgoing label, and required bandwidth. If
the device does not have enough bandwidth resources required by a CRLSP, the CRLSP cannot be
established.
Static CRLSPs consume fewer resources, but they cannot automatically adapt to network topology
changes. Therefore, static CRLSPs are suitable for small and stable networks with simple
topologies.
Follow these guidelines to establish a static CRLSP:
•
Configure the ingress node as follows:
Specify the outgoing label for the CRLSP, the next hop or the outgoing interface to the next
hop, and the required bandwidth.
Create an MPLS TE tunnel interface.
Reference the static CRLSP for the tunnel interface.
The tunnel interface adds the outgoing label of the static CRLSP to each packet, and forwards
the packet to the next hop or out of the outgoing interface.
•
A transit node swaps the label carried in a received packet with a specific label. It forwards the
packet to the next hop or out of the outgoing interface. You must specify the incoming label, the
outgoing label, the next hop or the outgoing interface, and the required bandwidth on each
transit node.
•
If it is not configured with the penultimate hop popping function, an egress node pops the
incoming label of a packet. It performs label forwarding according to the inner label or IP
forwarding. You are only required to specify the incoming label on the egress node.
•
The outgoing label specified on an LSR must be the same as the incoming label specified on
the directly connected downstream LSR.
Configuration procedure
Static CRLSPs are special static LSPs. They use the same label space as static LSPs. On a device,
a static CRLSP and a static LSP cannot use the same incoming label.
A static CRLSP can be used to forward MPLS TE traffic only after you create an MPLS TE tunnel
interface on the ingress node and reference the static CRLSP for the tunnel interface. For more
information about MPLS TE, see "
."
Before you configure a static CRLSP, complete the following tasks:
•
Identify the ingress node, transit nodes, and egress node of the CRLSP.
•
Enable MPLS on all interfaces that participate in MPLS forwarding. For more information, see
"
."
•
Enable MPLS TE for each node and interface that the CRLSP traverses. For more information,
see "
