Function

The association-type enable command enables a PCE client to support the association object (AO) in the IETF-compliant format.

The undo association-type enable command disables a PCE client from supporting the association object in the IETF-compliant format.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

A PCE server and a PCE client run PCEP to communicate. The PCEP protocol defines multiple objects to be coded and decoded on both ends of a PCEP session. The association object is one of them. The PCEP protocol does not support the coding or decoding of the non-IETF association object. To address this issue, run the association-type enable command to enable the PCE client to send the association object in the IETF-compliant format so that the PCE server can code or decode the object.

Prerequisites

A PCE client has been configured using the pce-client command.

Configuration Impact

After the association-type enable command is run, all existing PCEP sessions are restarted. After the PCEP session is restarted, the PCEP protocol supports the coding and decoding of the IETF-compliant association object.
