Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If a VPN has high requirements for bandwidth, you can apply a tunnel binding policy to the VPN to have the routes of the VPN iterated to MPLS TE tunnels. Before applying that tunnel binding policy to the VPN, you need to run the mpls te reserved-for-binding command to reserve MPLS TE tunnels for VPN binding.

Prerequisites

MPLS TE tunnels are available in the system.

Configuration Impact

After the mpls te reserved-for-binding command is configured on an MPLS TE tunnel, the tunnel can be selected based on a tunnel binding policy only. Even if no tunnel binding policy is configured, a tunnel type prioritizing policy created using the tunnel select-seq command will not select the MPLS TE tunnel for which the mpls te reserved-for-binding command has been configured.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the tunnel-policy command to create a tunnel policy and the tunnel binding command to bind the policy to the MPLS TE tunnel.
