To configure a static LSP

Overview

A static LSP is always unidirectional. Static LSPs are configured on the all the sites to determine PUSH, SWAP and POP. SWAP and POP operations are defined once we set the PUSH configuration. On the network, each node is explicitly defined as a Swap or Pop NE. These operations are defined at the MPLS interface level.

Steps
 

Choose Manage→MPLS→Static LSP. The Manage Static LSP window opens.


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


Click the General tab.

Configure the required parameters.


Click the Static Hops tab and configure the following parameters:

  • Click Create. The Static Hop (Create) form opens.

  • Double-click on the Site ID. The Static Hop (Create) form with additional parameters opens.

  • Type the Egress Label that was calculated in the General tab and set the Next Hop IP address.


Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 to configure the number of static hops required.

Note: Swap and Pop operations can also be created using the static label maps from the MPLS interface properties window. See To create static hops from an MPLS interface properties window for the procedure to create static hops from MPLS interface properties window.


Click OK to save the changes and close the forms.
