Configuring CR-LSP Backup Parameters

A backup CR-LSP is established in either hot standby or ordinary backup mode. A hot-standby CR-LSP and an ordinary backup CR-LSP cannot be established simultaneously.

Context

CR-LSP backup is disabled by default. After CR-LSP backup is configured on the ingress of a primary CR-LSP, the system automatically selects a path for a backup CR-LSP.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run interface tunnel tunnel-number

    The view of the MPLS TE tunnel interface is displayed.

  3. Establish a primary RSVP-TE tunnel.
  4. Run mpls te backup hot-standby [ mode { revertive [ wtr interval ] | non-revertive } | overlap-path | wtr [ interval ] | dynamic-bandwidth ]

    The mode of establishing a backup CR-LSP is configured.

    Select the following parameters as needed to enable sub-functions:
    • mode revertive [ wtr interval ]: enables a device to switch traffic back to the primary CR-LSP.

    • mode non-revertive: disables a device from switching traffic back to the primary CR-LSP.

    • overlap-path: allows a hot-standby CR-LSP to overlap the primary CR-LSP if no available path is provided for the hot-standby CR-LSP.

    • wtr interval: sets the time before a traffic switchback is performed.

    • dynamic-bandwidth: enables a hot-standby CR-LSP to obtain bandwidth resources only after the hot-standby CR-LSP takes over traffic from a faulty primary CR-LSP. This function helps efficiently use network resources and reduce network costs.

    The bypass and backup tunnels cannot be configured on the same tunnel interface. The mpls te bypass-tunnel and mpls te backup commands cannot be configured on the same tunnel interface. Also, the mpls te protected-interface and mpls te backup commands cannot be configured on the same tunnel interface.

  5. (Optional) Run mpls te path explicit-path path-name secondary

    An explicit path is specified for the backup CR-LSP.

    The mpls te path explicit-path path-name secondary and mpls te backup commands must be configured simultaneously.

  6. (Optional) Run mpls te affinity property properties [ mask mask-value ] secondary

    An affinity is set for the backup CR-LSP.

  7. (Optional) Run mpls te hop-limit hop-limit-value secondary

    A hop limit value is set for the backup CR-LSP.

    mpls te hop-limit hop-limit-value secondary and mpls te backup commands must be configured simultaneously.

  8. (Optional) Run mpls te backup hot-standby overlap-path

    The path overlapping function is configured for the hot-standby CR-LSP.

  9. (Optional) Run mpls te backup hot-standby dynamic-bandwidth

    The dynamic bandwidth adjustment function is enabled for the hot-standby CR-LSP.

    This function enables a hot-standby CR-LSP to obtain bandwidth resources only after the hot-standby CR-LSP takes over traffic from a faulty primary CR-LSP. This function helps efficiently use network resources and reduce network costs.

  10. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
