Before an SR-MPLS TE tunnel is established, the OSPF SR-MPLS TE capability and OSPF topology report function must be enabled.
Before an SR-MPLS TE tunnel is established, a device must assign labels, collect network topology information, and report the information to the controller so that the controller uses the information to calculate a path and a label stack for the path. SR-MPLS TE labels can be assigned by the controller or the extended OSPF protocol on forwarders. Network topology information (including labels allocated by OSPF) is collected by OSPF and reported to the controller through BGP-LS.
Perform the following steps on each node of an SR-MPLS TE tunnel to be established:
Perform the following steps on one or more nodes of an SR-MPLS TE tunnel:
A forwarder can report network-wide topology information to the controller after they establish a BGP-LS peer relationship. The following steps can be configured on one or multiple nodes, depending on the network scale.
