To create a static LSP

Note: When LSP on-demand resynchronization is enabled, manually resynchronize all of the planned hops in the static LSP before you create a static LSP. This is to ensure that validations on the static LSP can be run properly. See the procedure to enable LSP on-demand resynchronization in the NSP System Administrator Guide for more information.

Steps
 
1 

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

2 

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

3 

Configure the parameters in the Identity panel.

Note: If a range policy is applied to a service tunnel, a grey text box appears beside the Service ID parameter to indicate that a range policy is in effect.

If a format policy is applied to a service tunnel, a drop-down menu appears beside the object field during object creation, to indicate that a format policy is enforced. When there is only one matching policy, the drop-down menu is dimmed. When there are multiple matching policies, the drop-down menu is used to choose a policy. The items in the drop-down menu are ordered by the policy’s Priority parameter.

4 

Configure the parameters in the Source panel.

The Administrative parameter applies to the source NE only, not to the entire static LSP

5 

Select a destination site in the Destination panel.

The Administrative parameter applies to the source NE only, not to the entire static LSP

6 

Click Apply.

To configure one or more static hops:

Use the following steps:

  1. Click on the Static Hops tab.

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

  3. Configure the Hop Index parameter.

  4. Select a site in the Site panel.

  5. Select an interface in the Interface panel.

  6. Configure the parameters:

    The Egress Label, Enable Implicit Null Label and Next Hop parameters are configurable when the Label Action parameter value is set to Swap.

    The Egress Label and Next Hop parameters are configurable only when the Label Action parameter value is set to Swap/Protect-Swap.

    The range of the Ingress Label parameter depends on the parameter value set for the Static Label Range on the MPLS instance. See To configure an MPLS instance .

Note: Static hop configuration performed in CLI is not synced to the NFM-P.

Save the changes and close the forms.
