Configuring a Service Interface

On the NetEngine 8000 F, a logical GMPLS UNI is bound to a GMPLS UNI tunnel so that the logical GMPLS UNI can transmit upper layer services, such as MPLS, IGP, and VPN services, along the GMPLS UNI tunnel.

Context

Using logical GMPLS UNIs as service interfaces facilitates redundancy protection for interfaces connecting the IP and optical layer devices. If a GMPLS UNI tunnel bound to a logical GMPLS UNI fails, the logical GMPLS UNI automatically searches for another available GMPLS UNI tunnel and switches traffic to the new tunnel, which implements redundancy protection.

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run interface gmpls-uni interface-number
A service interface is created, and the logical GMPLS UNI view is displayed.
Run ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length }
An IP address is assigned to the interface.
(Optional) Configure upper layer service applications, such as a static route, an IGP, or MPLS.
The configuration procedure is similar to that on a physical interface. The configuration details are not provided.
Run commit
The configuration is committed.
