To configure an MPLS instance

Steps
 
1 

Enable MPLS on an NE, as described in To enable MPLS on a routing instance .

2 

Choose Routing from the NFM-P navigation tree view selector.

3 

Navigate to Routing→NE→Routing Instance→MPLS.

4 

Right-click on the MPLS object in the navigation tree and choose Properties. The MPLS (Edit) form opens.

5 

Configure the Administrative State parameter in the States panel.

6 

Configure the required parameters in the Configuration panel.

The Static Label Range parameter affects the range of the Ingress Label parameter on MPLS static hops, MPLS static label maps, and VPLS, IES, and VLL spoke and mesh bindings.

The minimum value you can enter for the Start Segment Routing Label parameter is the value of the Static Label Range parameter, plus 32.

The PCE Report parameter specifies the PCE report types for the MPLS instance and the router-level configuration of reporting of LSPs to the PCE.

Enable the Logger Event Bundling parameter to generate the vRtrMplsXCBundleChange trap.

7 

Configure the required parameters in the LSP Resignal panel.

8 

Configure the required parameters in the P2MP LSP Resignal panel.

9 

Configure the required parameters in the LSP Bypass Resignal panel.

10 

Configure the required parameters in the SR-TE LSP Resignal panel.

11 

Configure the Hold Timer (seconds) parameter in the Hold Timer panel.

12 

Configure the required parameters in the Shared Risk Link Group panel.

13 

Configure the required parameters in the Least-Fill panel.

14 

Configure the required parameters in the TTL Propagate panel.

15 

Configure the required parameters in the Auto Bandwidth Multipliers panel.

16 

Configure the CSPF On Loose Hop parameter in the Inter Area/Level Traffic Engineering panel.

17 

Configure LSP Self Ping as needed in the LSP Self Ping panel.

18 

Configure the required parameters in the RSVP-TE LSP Resignal panel.

19 

Configure the RSVP-TE and SR-TE tunnel types values in the Tunnel Table Preference panel.

20 

Configure the reserved label block name as needed in the LSP BSID Block panel.

21 

Configure LSP History as needed in the LSP History panel.

22 

To configure OAM diagnostics for the MPLS instance, click on the Tests tab. See Chapter 90, OAM diagnostic tests for more information about how to configure OAM diagnostics.

23 

To configure MPLS interfaces on the MPLS instance, click on the Interfaces tab. See To create an MPLS interface for more information about how to configure MPLS interfaces.

24 

To configure the collection of ingress accounting statistics for the MPLS instance, click on the Accounting tab.

25 

To configure the collection of ingress statistics for LSPs, perform the following.

Use the following steps:

  1. Click on the LSP tab.

  2. Click Create. The IngStatsPolicy, Routing Instance (Create) form opens.

  3. Configure the parameters in the LSP Information panel.

  4. Select an accounting policy in the Ingress Accounting Statistics panel. Only accounting policies with the CombinedMplsLspIngressStats statistics type are available for selection.

  5. Configure the required parameters in the Ingress Accounting Statistics panel.

    Note:

    The collection of egress accounting statistics is configured in To create a Dynamic LSP for Dynamic LSPs and To create a Point-to-Multipoint LSP for P2MP LSPs.

26 

To configure the collection of ingress statistics for LSP templates:

Use the following steps:

  1. Click on the LSP Template tab.

  2. Click Create. The LSP Template Ingress Stats, Routing Instance (Create) form opens.

  3. Configure the required parameters in the LSP Information panel.

  4. Select an accounting policy in the Ingress Accounting Statistics panel. Only accounting policies with the CombinedMplsLspIngressStats statistics type are available for selection.

  5. Configure the required parameters in the Ingress Accounting Statistics panel.

    Note:

    The collection of egress accounting statistics is configured in To create an LSP template MVPN policy .

27 

To configure policies for class-based forwarding:

  1. Click on the Class Forwarding Policies tab.

  2. Click Create. The Class Forwarding Policy (Create) form opens.

  3. Configure the required parameters in the General tab.

  4. Click OK. The Class Forwarding policy is created.

28 

To configure MPLS forwarding policies:

  1. Click on the Forwarding Policies tab.

  2. Click Create. The Forwarding Policies form opens.

  3. Configure the parameters in the General tab as required.

  4. Click on the Forwarding Policy tab and click Create. The Forwarding Policies - Forwarding Policy form opens.

  5. Configure the parameters in the General tab as required.

  6. Click on the Next Hop Group tab and click Create. The Next Hop Group form opens.

  7. Configure the parameters in the General tab as required.

  8. Click on the Next Hop tab and click Create to configure a primary next hop and, as required, a backup next hop.

  9. Click OK and close the Next Hop Group, Forwarding Policy, and Forwarding Policies forms.

29 

To view information about the MPLS instance, click on the following tabs:

  • In Segments to view the MPLS ingress segment information, such as label assignments

  • Cross Connects to view the LSP cross-connection information

  • Out Segments to view the MPLS egress segment information, such as label assignments

  • Static Label Maps to view static hop mapping information

  • Statistics to view MPLS site and interface statistics

  • Faults to view alarm information for the MPLS instance

30 

Click View RSVP Site to view the associated RSVP instance on the NE.
