Configuring Route Forwarding Based on Network Slices

You can associate services with forwarding resources based on a slice ID by associating a route color and the slice ID.

Context

A slice ID connects the control and forwarding planes. After the association between a route color and slice ID is configured, if services recurse to an SRv6 BE path, they are forwarded based on this path. During data forwarding, the ingress encapsulates the HBH extension header (which carries the slice ID corresponding to the route color) and the IPv6 basic header into a packet. The ingress then finds the network slice interface based on the slice ID and forwards the packet over this interface.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run network-slice color-mapping

    The network slice instance and color mapping view is displayed.

  3. Run color index network-slice sliceId

    A route color is associated with a slice ID.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
