Procedure 17-2.7: Configure Tunnel parameters

- Overview

Use this procedure to configure the incoming and outgoing parameters for Tunnels being provisioned at Remote and Hub ends.

This procedure only illustrates the provisioning of two tunnels. If more than two tunnels are required, use the same procedure for the other tunnels.

Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide, for help on using CLI commands.

Step
 
1

If required, login to the VLNC6x.

Result:

The User EXEC prompt [(ALU switching)>] displays.

2

Enter the Global Config mode:

  1. From the User EXEC prompt, enter enable to enter the Privileged EXEC mode.

  2. From the Privileged EXEC prompt, enter config to enter the Global Config mode.

3

Configure Tunnel 1 – outgoing parameters at Remote end and Tunnel 1 incoming parameters at Hub end.

At both Remote or Hub, from the Global Config Mode, enter psntunnel <name> command to enter the PSN Tunnel Config Mode. Parameter <name> is a 1 to 31 alphanumeric character string which creates the tunnel name if not already existing.

Example: (ALU Switching) (Config)# psntunnel Tunnel1

4

At Tunnel1 Hub end, from the PSN Tunnel Config Mode,

  • If CES mode is “MPLS PHP enable” or “ethernet” — Enter insegment [incoming-interface <in-interface], where in-interface specifies the incoming Ethernet interface through which the PSN Tunnel’s packets can be received.

    For example, (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel1)# insegment incoming-interface d1-1.

  • If CES mode is “MPLS PHP disable” — Enter insegment inlabel <label> [incoming-interface <in-interface], where in-interface specifies the incoming Ethernet interface through which the PSN Tunnel’s packets can be received and label specifies the incoming label of the PSN Tunnel (Range: 16-1048575).

    For example, (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel1)# insegment in-label 300 incoming-interface d2-1.

5

At Tunnel1 Remote end, from the PSN Tunnel Config Mode,

  • If CES mode is “MPLS PHP enable”,

    Enter outsegment destination <dst-addr> nexthop <nexthop-addr> [outgoing-interface <out-interface>] where:

    • dst-addr specifies the IP address of the destination node of the PSN Tunnel.

    • nexthop-addr specifies the next hop address of the PSN Tunnel.

    • out-interface specifies the output Ethernet interface through which the PSN Tunnel’s destination can be reached.

    Example: (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel1)# outsegment destination 152.148.1.1 nexthop 1.1.1.10 outgoing-interface d2-1.

  • If CES mode is “MPLS PHP disable”,

    Enter outsegment destination <dst-addr> nexthop <nexthop-addr> out-label <label> [outgoing-interface <out-interface>] where:

    • dst-addr specifies the IP address of the destination node of the PSN Tunnel.

    • nexthop-addr specifies the next hop address of the PSN Tunnel.

    • label specifies the outgoing label of the PSN Tunnel, range 16-1048575.

    • out-interface specifies the output Ethernet interface through which the PSN Tunnel’s destination can be reached.

    Example: (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel1)# outsegment destination 152.148.1.1 nexthop 1.1.1.10 out-label 200 outgoing-interface d2-1.

  • If CES mode is “ethernet”,

    Enter outsegment destination <MAC-addr> outgoing-interface <out-interface> where:

    • MAC-addr specifies the MAC address of the destination node of the PSN Tunnel.

    • out-interface specifies the output Ethernet interface through which the PSN Tunnel’s destination can be reached.

    Example: (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel1)# outsegment destination 00:60:10:20:30:40 outgoing-interface d2-1.

6

At both Remote or Hub, from the PSN Tunnel Config Mode enter no shutdown to enable Tunnel 1.

Example: (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel1)# no shutdown.

Enter exit to exit the PSN Tunnel Config Mode.

7

Configure Tunnel 2 – outgoing parameters at Hub end and Tunnel 2 incoming parameters at Remote end.

At both Remote or Hub, from the Global Config Mode, enter psntunnel <name> command to enter the PSN Tunnel Config Mode. Parameter <name> is a 1 to 31 alphanumeric character string which creates the tunnel name if not already existing.

Example: (ALU Switching) (Config)# psntunnel Tunnel2.

8

At Tunnel2 Remote end, from the PSN Tunnel Config Mode,

  • If CES mode is “MPLS PHP enable” or “ethernet” — Enter insegment [incoming-interface <in-interface], where in-interface specifies the incoming Ethernet interface through which the PSN Tunnel’s packets can be received.

    For example, (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel2)# insegment incoming-interface d1-1.

  • If CES mode is “MPLS PHP disable” — Enter insegment inlabel <label> [incoming-interface <in-interface], where in-interface specifies the incoming Ethernet interface through which the PSN Tunnel’s packets can be received and label specifies the incoming label of the PSN Tunnel (Range: 16-1048575).

    For example, (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel2)# insegment in-label 300 incoming-interface d2-1.

9

At Tunnel2 Hub end, from the PSN Tunnel Config Mode,

  • If CES mode is “MPLS PHP enable”,

    Enter outsegment destination <dst-addr> nexthop <nexthop-addr> [outgoing-interface <out-interface>] where:

    • dst-addr specifies the IP address of the destination node of the PSN Tunnel.

    • nexthop-addr specifies the next hop address of the PSN Tunnel.

    • out-interface specifies the output Ethernet interface through which the PSN Tunnel’s destination can be reached.

    Example: (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel2)# outsegment destination 152.148.2.2 nexthop 1.1.1.20 outgoing-interface d2-1.

  • If CES mode is “MPLS PHP disable”,

    Enter outsegment destination <dst-addr> nexthop <nexthop-addr> out-label <label> [outgoing-interface <out-interface>] where:

    • dst-addr specifies the IP address of the destination node of the PSN Tunnel.

    • nexthop-addr specifies the next hop address of the PSN Tunnel.

    • label specifies the outgoing label of the PSN Tunnel, range 16-1048575.

    • out-interface specifies the output Ethernet interface through which the PSN Tunnel’s destination can be reached.

    Example: (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel2)# outsegment destination 152.148.2.2 nexthop 1.1.1.20 out-label 200 outgoing-interface d2-1.

  • If CES mode is “ethernet”,

    Enter outsegment destination <MAC-addr> outgoing-interface <out-interface> where:

    • MAC-addr specifies the MAC address of the destination node of the PSN Tunnel.

    • out-interface specifies the output Ethernet interface through which the PSN Tunnel’s destination can be reached.

    Example: (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel2)# outsegment destination 00:60:1D:E8:08:50 outgoing-interface d2-1.

10

If required, specify the VLAN tag to append to the outgoing/incoming tunnels at both ends. From the PSN Tunnel Config Mode, enter service-vlan <vlan id> [pbit <pbit-value>] where vlan id is in the range of 1-3965. The pbit-value specifies the VLAN priority for the Ethernet frame. The highest priority is indicated by 7 (Range 0-7, default 7).

Example: (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel2)# service-vlan 10 p-bit 6.

The VLAN specified in this command was configured earlier using the command vlan participation.

11

At both Remote or Hub, from the PSN Tunnel Config Mode enter no shutdown to enable Tunnel 2.

Example: (ALU Switching) (Config-Tunnel2)# no shutdown.

Enter exit to exit the PSN Tunnel Config Mode.
