A static bidirectional co-routed CR-LSP can be configured to implement public network service isolation and label forwarding for PW packets transmitted along an IP hard pipe.
An IP hard pipe is a pipe technique that establishes a static PW over a static bidirectional co-routed CR-LSP to simulate an SDH leased line. To enable a device to use a static PW over a static bidirectional co-routed CR-LSP as a public network CR-LSP for an IP hard pipe, run the hard-pipe enable command.
A static bidirectional co-routed CR-LSP consists of an ingress, transit nodes, and an egress. The hard-pipe enable command must be run on each node.
