Configuring Flex-Algo Link Attributes

Procedure

1. Configure the mappings between affinity bit names and values for links.
   1. Run system-view

      The system view is displayed.

   2. Run te attribute enable

      TE is enabled.

   3. Run path-constraint affinity-mapping

      An affinity name template is configured, and the template view is displayed.

      This template must be configured on each node that is involved in path calculation, and the same mappings between affinity bit names and values must be configured on each node.

   4. Run attribute bit-name bit-sequence bit-number

      Mappings between affinity bit values and names are configured.

      An affinity attribute has a total of 128 bits. This step configures only one bit. Repeat this step to configure more bits. You can configure some or all of the bits in the affinity attribute.

   5. Run quit

      Return to the system view.

2. Configure Flex-Algo link attributes.

   Use either of the following methods:

   • Inherit interface TE attributes.
     1. Run interface interface-type interface-number

        The interface view is displayed.

     2. Run te link administrative group name bit-name &<1-32>

        The link administrative group attribute is configured. The bit-name value must be in the range specified in the affinity name template.

     3. Run te metric metric-value

        The TE metric of the link is configured.

     4. Run te link-attribute-application flex-algo

        The Flex-Algo link attribute application view is created and displayed.

     5. Run te inherit

        The interface TE attributes are inherited.

        After the te inherit command is run, the Flex-Algo link inherits the te metric and te link administrative group name command configurations on the interface.

        In the Flex-Algo link attribute application view, the te inherit command is mutually exclusive from the metric and link administrative group name commands.

   • Configure Flex-Algo link attributes separately.
     1. Run interface interface-type interface-number

        The interface view is displayed.

     2. Run te link-attribute-application flex-algo

        The Flex-Algo link attribute application view is created and displayed.

     3. Run link administrative group name name-string &<1-128>

        The link administrative group attribute of the Flex-Algo link is configured. The name-string value must be in the range specified in the affinity name template.

     4. (Optional) Run delay delay-value

        The Flex-Algo link delay is configured.

     5. (Optional) Run metric metric-value

        The Flex-Algo link metric is configured.

3. Run commit

   The configuration is committed.
