Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Importing a PW template simplifies the configuration of PWs with similar attributes.

Prerequisites

L2VPN has been enabled by running the mpls l2vpn command.

Precautions

If a PW template is applied to a PW, the PW template cannot be deleted.
When a PW template is applied to a PW, the PW uses the PW attributes specified on the interface if the PW attributes specified on the interface are different from those specified in the template.
When modifying attributes in a PW template, run the reset pw command to make the modification take effect. This will cause PW disconnection and reconnection.
After a PW is bound to a link detection protocol, the remote IP address in the PW template cannot be changed. To change the remote IP address, unbind the PW from the link detection protocol.

Example

# Create a PW template named pwt1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] pw-template pwt1
[HUAWEI-pw-template-pwt1]
