To create a Point-to-Multipoint LSP

Steps
 
1 

Choose Manage→MPLS→Point-to-Multipoint LSPs from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Point-to-Multipoint LSPs form opens.

2 

Click Create. The P2MP LSP (Create) form opens.

3 

Configure the required parameters.

When you configure the System ID (Loopback IP Address) parameter, the Management IP Address and Site Name parameters are automatically populated with the values associated with that NE. The IP Address parameter is also automatically populated, however, you can specify a new value for the parameter, if required.

4 

Click on the Properties tab.

5 

Configure the parameters in the Traffic Engineering and Protection panel.

6 

Configure the parameters in the Fast Reroute panel.

The Node Protect parameter is only configurable when the Reserved Bandwidth (Mbps) parameter is set to a value greater than 0.

7 

Configure the Make before Break parameter.

8 

Configure the parameters in the CSPF panel.

9 

Configure the parameters in the Signalling panel.

10 

To configure a P2MP primary instance:

Use the following steps:

  1. Click on the P2MP Primary Instance tab and click Create. The P2MP Instance (Create) form opens.

  2. Configure the required parameters.

  3. Click on the Properties tab.

  4. Configure the parameters in the Traffic Engineering Properties panel.

    When you enable the Inherit Value parameter, the Hop Limit parameter for the P2MP Instance is set to the same value as you configured for the parent P2MP LSP.

  5. Configure the parameters in the Make Before Break panel.

    When you enable the Inherit Value parameter, the Make before Break parameter for the P2MP instance is set to the same value as you configured for the parent P2MP LSP.

  6. Configure the parameters in the Administrative Groups panel.

    When you enable the Inherit Value parameters, the Included and/or Excluded Groups for the P2MP instance are set to the same values you configure for the parent P2MP LSP. If you do not enable the Inherit Value parameters, you can configure the Included Groups and Excluded Groups for the P2MP Instance independently from the parent P2MP LSP. See 8 .

  7. To create one or more S2L paths click on the S2L Paths tab and click Create. The S2L Path (Create) form opens. Configure the required parameters and save and close the form.

    Each S2L path object represents a root-to-leaf (S2L) sub-LSP path for the primary instance of the P2MP LSP.

  8. To assign one or more MPLS administrative groups to the P2MP Instance, click on the Administrative Groups tab.

  9. Choose the required Included Groups in the Unassigned list and click on the right arrow button. The groups are assigned to the Point-to-Multipoint LSP and moved to the Assigned list.

  10. Select the required Excluded Groups in the Unassigned list and click on the right arrow button. The groups are assigned to the Point-to-Multipoint LSP and moved to the Assigned list.

    After you assign the Included and Excluded Groups, the total value of the groups is displayed in a bit mask format by the Groups Included and Groups Excluded indicators on the P2MP Instance Properties tab.

  11. Save your changes and close the form.

To assign one or more MPLS administrative groups to the P2MP LSP:

Use the following steps:

  1. Select the required Included Groups in the Unassigned list and click on the right arrow button. The groups are assigned to the Point-to-Multipoint LSP and move to the Assigned list.

  2. Select the required Excluded Groups in the Unassigned list and click on the right arrow button. The groups are assigned to the Point-to-Multipoint LSP and move to the Assigned list.

    After you assign the Included and Excluded Groups, the total value of the groups is displayed in a bit mask format by the Groups Included (bitmap) and Groups Excluded (bitmap) indicators on the P2MP LSP Properties tab.

12 

Save your changes and close the forms.

13 

To complete the configuration of the Point-to-Multipoint LSP, you must:

  1. Configure the required PIM tunnel interfaces. See To configure a routing instance or a VRF instance .

  2. Configure tunnel interfaces on the required IGMP routing instance. See To configure an IGMP site on a router .

  3. Configure tunnel interfaces on the required multicast info policy. See To configure an ingress multicast information policy .

14 

After you complete the configuration of the Point-to-Multipoint LSP, you can reopen the P2MP LSP form to create, configure and run OAM diagnostics, or configure accounting statistics collection, if required. To configure OAM diagnostics, go to Step 15 . To configure accounting statistics collection, go to Step 16 .

15 

Perform the following to configure OAM diagnostics.

Use the following steps:

  1. Click on the Tests tab. The Test Suite, P2MP Ping, and P2MP Trace tabs are displayed.

  2. Create or search for the test suite or particular type of test you want to run from the tab pages. Click on either the Create or Search buttons as required.

  3. Click Execute to run a selected test.

    See Chapter 89, Service Test Manager and Chapter 90, OAM diagnostic tests for more information about how to configure OAM diagnostics.

16 

Perform the following to configure accounting statistics.

Use the following steps:

  1. Click on the Accounting tab.

  2. Select an accounting policy.

  3. Configure the required parameters.
