Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

You can configure an explicit path only after MPLS TE is enabled.

The addresses of the hops along the explicit path cannot overlap or loops cannot occur. If a loop occurs, CSPF detects the loop and fails to calculate the path.

When the explicit path is in use, you cannot perform the following operations:

Run the explicit-path path-name disable command to disable the explicit path.
Run the undo explicit-path command to delete the explicit path.

Example

# Create an explicit path named path1.
