Configuring a static CRLSP

Overview

A static Constraint-based Routed Label Switched Path (CRLSP) is established by manually specifying CRLSP setup information on the ingress, transit, and egress nodes of the forwarding path. The CRLSP setup information includes the incoming label, outgoing label, and required bandwidth. If the device does not have enough bandwidth resources required by a CRLSP, the CRLSP cannot be established.

Static CRLSPs consume fewer resources, but they cannot automatically adapt to network topology changes. Therefore, static CRLSPs are suitable for small and stable networks with simple topologies.

Follow these guidelines to establish a static CRLSP:

·          Configure the ingress node as follows:

¡  Specify the outgoing label for the CRLSP, the next hop or the outgoing interface to the next hop, and the required bandwidth.

¡  Create an MPLS TE tunnel interface.

¡  Specify the static CRLSP for the tunnel interface.

The tunnel interface adds the outgoing label of the static CRLSP to each packet, and forwards the packet to the next hop or out of the outgoing interface.

·          A transit node swaps the label carried in a received packet with a label. It forwards the packet to the next hop or out of the outgoing interface. You must specify the incoming label, the outgoing label, the next hop or the outgoing interface, and the required bandwidth on each transit node.

·          If it is not configured with the penultimate hop popping function, an egress node pops the incoming label of a packet. It performs label forwarding according to the inner label or IP forwarding. You are only required to specify the incoming label on the egress node.

·          The outgoing label specified on an LSR must be the same as the incoming label specified on the directly connected downstream LSR.

Prerequisites for static CRLSP

Before you configure a static CRLSP, perform the following tasks:

1.        Identify the ingress node, transit nodes, and egress node of the CRLSP.

2.        Enable MPLS on all interfaces that participate in MPLS forwarding. For more information, see "Configuring basic MPLS."

3.        Enable MPLS TE for each node and interface that the CRLSP traverses. For more information, see "Configuring MPLS TE."

Restrictions and guidelines for static CRLSP

When you configure static CRLSPs, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·          Static CRLSPs are special static LSPs. They use the same label space as static LSPs. On a device, a static CRLSP and a static LSP cannot use the same incoming label.

·          A static CRLSP can forward MPLS TE traffic only after you create an MPLS TE tunnel interface on the ingress node and specify the static CRLSP for the tunnel interface. For more information about MPLS TE, see "Configuring MPLS TE."

·          Static CRLSP is mutually exclusive with EVI and VXLAN. For more information about EVI, see EVI Configuration Guide. For more information about VXLAN, see VXLAN Configuration Guide.

Configuration procedure

To configure a static CRLSP:

 

Step	Command	Remarks
1.       Enter system view.	system-view	N/A
2.       Create a static CRLSP.	·         Configure the ingress node: static-cr-lsp ingress lsp-name { nexthop ip-address | outgoing-interface interface-type interface-number } out-label out-label-value [ bandwidth [ ct0 | ct1 | ct2 | ct3 ] bandwidth-value ] ·         Configure a transit node: static-cr-lsp transit lsp-name in-label in-label-value { nexthop ip-address | outgoing-interface interface-type interface-number } out-label out-label-value [ bandwidth [ ct0 | ct1 | ct2 | ct3 ] bandwidth-value ] ·         Configure the egress node: static-cr-lsp egress lsp-name in-label in-label-value	Use one command according to the position of a device on the network. By default, no static CRLSPs exist. Do not configure the next hop address as a local public IP address when configuring the static CRLSP on the ingress node or a transit node. You do not need to execute the static-cr-lsp egress command on the egress node if the outgoing label configured on the penultimate hop of the static CRLSP is 0 or 3.

Static CRLSP configuration example

Network requirements

Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C run IS-IS.

Establish an MPLS TE tunnel over a static CRLSP from Switch A to Switch C to transmit data between the two IP networks. The required bandwidth for the tunnel is 2000 kbps.

The maximum bandwidth for MPLS TE traffic is 10000 kbps, and the maximum reservable bandwidth is 5000 kbps.

2.        Configure IS-IS to advertise interface addresses, including the loopback interface address:
