(Optional) Configuring an Entropy Label Capability for a Tunnel in the Tunnel Interface View

The entropy label capability can be configured in the tunnel interface view to improve load balancing performance.

Context

If severe load imbalance occurs, the entropy label can be configured in the tunnel interface view to help transit nodes properly load-balance traffic. The entropy label capability is enabled on the egress for tunnels. An entropy label is set on the ingress to confirm the tunnel entropy label requirement, and the ingress sends the requirement to the forwarding plane for processing. If no entropy label is configured in the tunnel interface view, the entropy label capability is determined by the global entropy label capability.

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 quit

    The system view is displayed.

  5. Run interface tunnel tunnel-number

    The tunnel interface view is displayed.

  6. Run tunnel-protocol mpls te

    MPLS TE is configured as a tunnel protocol.

  7. Run mpls te entropy-label

    An entropy label is configured for a tunnel in the tunnel interface view.

  8. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
