The tlp nexthop command configures a next hop address for a TLP in an IP Flow Performance Measurement (IP FPM) instance.
The undo tlp nexthop command deletes a next hop address of a TLP in an IP FPM instance.
By default, no next hop address is configured for TLPs in an IP FPM instance.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| tlp-id |
Specifies a TLP ID. |
The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 16777215. |
| index index-id |
Specifies a load balancing index. |
The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 16. |
| nexthop nexthop-ip-address |
Specifies a next hop address. |
The value is in dotted decimal notation. |
Usage Scenario
In the case of public tunnel detection, if the traffic of a device is diverted to downstream devices through a switch, the interface connecting the device and switch may be assigned the same label. In this case, MAC addresses must be used to differentiate the downstream devices. To configure a next hop address for a TLP in an IP FPM instance so that the corresponding MAC address is obtained based on the outbound interface and next hop address, run the tlp nexthop command. In a load-balancing scenario where different paths share the same interface, the index parameter must be configured to specify the load balancing index corresponding to the next hop address.
