About this guide

This guide describes the Nokia SR OS Segment Routing and PCE functionality.

This guide is organized into functional chapters that provide concepts and descriptions of the implementation flow.

Note: Unless otherwise indicated, this guide uses classic CLI command syntax and configuration examples.

The topics and commands described in this document apply to the following SR OS products:

  • 7750 SR

  • 7950 XRS

See the SR OS R22.x.Rx Software Release Notes, part number 3HE 18412 000 x TQZZA, for a list of unsupported features by platform and chassis.

Command outputs shown in this guide are examples only; actual displays may differ depending on supported functionality and user configuration.

Note: The Segment Routing and PCE supports configuration using classic CLI and MD-CLI. This guide provides configuration examples based on classic CLI syntax only.
