Disabling the Rerouting Function

The rerouting function enables MPLS TE to re-select another path for LSP reestablishment in the case that the original path fails. This section describes how to disable it.

Usage Scenario

If an LSP path fails, the LSP goes Down. The rerouting function allows MPLS TE to re-select another available path for LSP establishment. However, this may cause traffic congestion on the re-selected path. In this situation, run the mpls te reroute disable command to disable the rerouting function. The path over which the Up LSP is established then functions as a constraint path. Even if the path fails, MPLS TE still uses it for LSP reestablishment. However, manual intervention (for example, manually modifying the LSP configuration or triggering LSP rerouting) will delete the constraint path. After a new LSP goes up, the new LSP path serves as the new constraint path.

Context

Before disabling the rerouting function, complete the following task:

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run interface tunnel tunnel-number

    The tunnel interface view of the tunnel to be established is displayed.

  3. Run mpls te reroute disable

    The rerouting function is disabled.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
