Create a bandwidth-based path profile

Purpose

Use this procedure to configure a path profile for bandwidth optimization, using the Path Control view.

This procedure is based on the following:

  • the procedure to configure a path profile policy in the NSP Path Control and Simulation Guide

  • an API call using the NSP Path Control API

For example, the reference procedures in NSP Release 24.4 are:

Note: If LSPs were created with path profile IDs before the creation of path profiles, an error message is displayed showing that a path profile or association policy is configured on the path but missing on NSP. This is expected and will resolve when the profiles are created.
