Configuring Tunnel Policies

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before configuring a tunnel policy, complete the following tasks:

• Create LSP or MPLS TE tunnels used to transmit VPN services.

  

  For details on how to create an LSP tunnel, see MPLS LDP Configuration in the S2720, S5700, and S6700 V200R019C10 Configuration Guide - MPLS.

  For details on how to create a TE tunnel, see MPLS TE Configuration in the S2720, S5700, and S6700 V200R019C10 Configuration Guide - MPLS.

• Establish the basic VPN network. For details about BGP/MPLS IP VPN configuration, see Configuring Basic BGP/MPLS IP VPN Functions.

Before configuring and applying a tunnel selector, complete the following tasks:

• Configure a tunnel policy. For details, see Configuring and Applying a Tunnel Policy.

• Configure an RD filter if routes need to be filtered based on RDs.

• Configure an ACL or IPv4 prefix if routes need to be filtered based on the next hop IPv4 address.

Configuration Procedure

When VPN services need to be transmitted over TE tunnels, or when multiple tunnels need to perform load balancing to fully use network resources, configure tunnel policies. For details, see Configuring and Applying a Tunnel Policy.

To select TE tunnels to transmitted VPN services in HVPN, configure a tunnel selector on the SPE devices. For details, see Configuring and Applying a Tunnel Selector.

By default, if you specify a nonexistent tunnel policy in a command, the command does not take effect.

If you need the nonexistent tunnel policy can be specified in a command, run the tunnel-policy nonexistent-config-check command.
