To create an MPLS-TP LSR cross-connect path

Purpose

Use this procedure to create an MPLS-TP LSR cross-connect path. This procedure requires the existence of a numbered or unnumbered L3 network interface on the NE that hosts the MPLS-TP instance. See NE routing and forwarding for more information about how to configure network interfaces.

Steps
 

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


Click Create and choose Create LSR Path. The LSR Path (Create) form opens.


Configure the required parameters in the Identity and States panel. By default, the Forward Path Enabled and Reverse Path Enable parameters are configured to enabled.


Click Select in the Site panel and choose a site to be used as the cross-connect and click OK.


Configure maintenance intermediate points, if required. The Maintenance Intermediate Points panel displays when you configure a cross-connect site in Step 4 .

Perform the following steps:

  1. In the Maintenance Intermediate Points panel, click Create. The Maintenance Intermediate Point (Create) form opens.

  2. Configure the required parameters.

  3. Click OK to close the form.


Perform the following if you enabled the Forward Path Enabled parameter, otherwise, go to Step 8 .

  1. Configure the required parameters in the Forward panel.

  2. Click Select in the Forward Out-Link panel and choose an interface and click OK. See To create an MPLS interface for information about how to configure MPLS interfaces.

  3. If you choose a numbered outlink interface, configure the Forward Next Hop parameter.


Perform the following if you enabled the Reverse Path Enabled parameter, otherwise, go to Step 8 .

  1. Configure the parameters in the Reverse panel.

  2. Click Select in the Reverse Out-Link panel and choose an interface and click OK. See To create an MPLS interface for information about how to configure MPLS interfaces.

  3. If you choose a numbered outlink interface, configure the Reverse Next Hop parameter.


Click on the LSP Path Binding tab and click Create to associate the LSR cross-connect path with LER LSPs.The LSR Path Binding (Create) form opens.


Configure the required parameter and click OK.
