Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Destination IP address of a tunnel, that is, the destination IP address of signaling packets exchanged between devices at both ends of a tunnel. Generally, the destination IP address is the node ID of the egress EN. The ingress EN initiates a tunnel establishment request. This address is carried in the ERO object in a Path message and is sent to the egress EN identified by this destination address hop by hop along the explicit path from the ingress EN to the egress EN, after receiving the Path message, the egress EN creates a Resv message and sends it to the egress EN. The tunnel is established.

When configuring a forward tunnel, you need to run the destination command to configure the destination address of the tunnel. This command only needs to be run on the ingress EN.

Precautions

Setting the value of dest-ip-address to be the node ID of an egress EN is recommended.

Example

# Set the destination IP address of the tunnel to 3.3.3.3.
