MPLS Traffic Engineering—DiffServ Aware
Configuring the Tunnel Interface
To configure the attributes for the tunnel on the tunnel interface, enter the following commands
beginning in global configuration mode:
Command
Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)#
interface tunnel
number
Creates a virtual tunnel interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
number
is the number of the tunnel interface that you want to
create or configure. The Cisco 10000 series router does not limit
the number of tunnel interfaces that you can create.
Step 2
Router(config-if)#
tunnel mode mpls
traffic-eng
Sets the mode of a tunnel to MPLS for traffic engineering.
Step 3
Router(config-if)#
tunnel destination
{
hostname
|
ip-address
}
Specifies the destination for a tunnel interface.
hostname
is the name of the host destination.
ip-address
is the IP address of the host destination.
Step 4
Router(config-if)#
tunnel mpls
traffic-eng bandwidth
[
sub-pool
|
global
]
bandwidth
Configures the bandwidth required for an MPLS traffic
engineering tunnel and assigns the tunnel to the sub-pool or
global pool.
(Optional)
sub-pool
indicates a subpool tunnel. If you do not
specify
sub-pool
, the tunnel is global pool.
global
indicates a global pool tunnel. By default, all tunnels are
global pool.
bandwidth
specifies the bandwidth (in kbps) allocated for the
MPLS traffic engineering tunnel. Valid values are from 1 to
4,294,967,295.
Step 5
Router(config-if)#
tunnel mpls
traffic-eng priority
setup-priority
[
hold-priority
]
Configures the setup and reservation priority for an MPLS traffic
engineering tunnel.
setup-priority
indicates the priority used when signaling a link
state protocol (LSP) for this tunnel to determine which existing
tunnels can be preempted. Valid values are from 0 to 7, where a
lower number indicates a higher priority. Therefore, an LSP with
a
setup-priority
of 0 can preempt any LSP with a non-0 priority.
hold-priority
is the priority associated with an LSP for this tunnel
to determine if it should be preempted by other LSPs that are
being signaled. Valid values are from 0 to 7, where a lower
number indicates a higher priority.
