Configuring the Entropy Label for Global Tunnels

The entropy label can be configured to global tunnels to improve load balancing performance.

Context

If severe load imbalance occurs, the entropy label can be configured for global tunnels to help transit nodes properly load-balance traffic. The entropy label capability is enabled on the egress for tunnels. An entropy label is configured in the tunnel interface view to confirm the tunnel entropy label requirement, and the ingress sends the requirement to the forwarding plane for processing.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run mpls

    The MPLS view is displayed.

  3. Run mpls te

    MPLS TE is globally enabled.

  4. Run mpls te entropy-label rsvp-te

    The entropy label is configured for global tunnels.

  5. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
