Tunnel policy commands

display mpls tunnel

Use display mpls tunnel to display tunnel information.

Syntax

display mpls tunnel { all | statistics | [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] destination { ipv4-address | ipv6-address } }

Parameters

all: Displays all tunnels. MPLS TE tunnel information is displayed only when the network layer is up.

statistics: Displays tunnel statistics.

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies an MPLS L3VPN instance by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If you do not specify a VPN instance, this command displays tunnel information for the public network.

destination: Displays the tunnel destined for the specified address.

ipv4-address: Specifies the tunnel destination IPv4 address.

ipv6-address: Specifies the tunnel destination IPv6 address.

Examples

# Display information about all tunnels.

<Sysname> display mpls tunnel all

2.2.2.2          LSP      NHLFE1024         -

3.3.3.3          CRLSP    Tunnel2           -

Table 3 Command output

Field	Description
Preferred paths	Preferred tunnels information.
Interface	Tunnel interface name of the preferred tunnel.
Tunnel type	Type of the preferred tunnel, which can be TE.
Select-Seq	Tunnel selection order. The tunnel types are displayed in descending order of priority in tunnel selection.
Load balance number	Number of tunnels for load balancing.

‌

preferred-path

Use preferred-path to configure a tunnel as a preferred tunnel.

Use undo preferred-path to remove the preferred tunnel setting for a tunnel.

Syntax

preferred-path tunnel number

undo preferred-path tunnel number

Default

No preferred tunnels are configured.

Parameters

tunnel number: Specifies an MPLS TE tunnel by its tunnel interface number. The value range is 0 to 15359.

Usage guidelines

As a best practice for an MPLS VPN, configure a preferred tunnel and make sure the destination address of the tunnel interface identifies the peer PE. In this method, the local PE forwards traffic destined for the peer PE over the preferred MPLS TE tunnel.

For a tunnel policy to solely use a tunnel, do not configure the tunnel as the preferred tunnel in other tunnel policies.

If you configure multiple preferred tunnels that have the same destination address in a tunnel policy, only the first configured tunnel takes effect. If the first tunnel is not available, the second tunnel is used, and so forth. No load balancing will be performed on these tunnels.

You can configure a maximum of 128 preferred tunnels in a tunnel policy.

Examples

# Configure tunnel 1 and tunnel 2 as preferred tunnels for tunnel policy policy1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] tunnel-policy policy1

[Sysname-tunnel-policy-policy1] preferred-path tunnel 1

[Sysname-tunnel-policy-policy1] preferred-path tunnel 2

select-seq load-balance-number

Use select-seq load-balance-number to configure the tunnel selection order and set the number of tunnels for load balancing.

Use undo select-seq to restore the default.

Syntax

select-seq { cr-lsp | lsp } * load-balance-number number

undo select-seq

Default

The device selects only one tunnel in LSP-CRLSP order.

Parameters

cr-lsp: Uses CRLSP or SRLSP tunnels.

lsp: Uses LSP tunnels.

load-balance-number number: Specifies the number of tunnels for load balancing. The value range is 1 to 128.

Usage guidelines

A tunnel type closer to the select-seq keyword has a higher priority, and only the tunnel types specified in this command can be used. For example, the select-seq lsp cr-lsp load-balance-number 3 command gives LSP higher priority over CRLSP. If no LSP is available or the number of LSPs is less than 3, VPN uses MPLS TE tunnels.

Tunnels selected by this method are not fixed, making it hard to plan VPN traffic. As a best practice, do not use this method.

When you configure both the select-seq load-balance-number and preferred-path commands for a tunnel policy, the tunnel policy selects tunnels in the following steps:

1.     If the destination address of the preferred tunnel identifies a peer PE, the tunnel policy uses the preferred tunnel to forward traffic destined for the peer PE.

2.     If not, the tunnel policy selects tunnels as configured by the select-seq load-balance-number command.

Examples

# Configure tunnel policy policy1 to use only MPLS TE tunnels, and set the load balancing number to 2.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] tunnel-policy policy1

[Sysname-tunnel-policy-policy1] select-seq cr-lsp load-balance-number 2

tunnel-policy (system view)

Use tunnel-policy to create a tunnel policy and enter its view, or enter the view of an existing tunnel policy.

Use undo tunnel-policy to delete a tunnel policy.

Syntax

undo tunnel-policy tunnel-policy-name

Default

No tunnel policies exist.
