Service packet forwarding with segment routing

The following SDP subtypes of the MPLS type allow service binding to an SR tunnel programmed in the TTM by OSPF or IS-IS:

SDPs of type sr-isis or sr-ospf can be configured with the far-end CLI command. When the sr-isis or sr-ospf command is enabled, a tunnel to the far-end address is selected in the TTM from the lowest preference IS-IS or OSPF instance. If multiple instances have the same lowest preference from the lowest numbered IS-IS or OSPF instance, the SR-ISIS or SR-OSPF tunnel is selected at the time of the binding, using the tunnel selection rules. If a preferred tunnel is subsequently added to the TTM, the SDP does not automatically switch to the new tunnel until the next time the SDP is being re-resolved.

The tunnel-far-end option is not supported. In addition, the mixed-lsp-mode option does not support the sr-isis and sr-ospf tunnel types.

The signaling protocol for the service labels of an SDP using an SR tunnel can be configured to static (off), T-LDP (tldp), or BGP (bgp).

SR tunnels can be configured in a VPRN service with the auto-bind-tunnel command.

VPN-IPv4 and VPN-IPv6 (6VPE) are supported in a VPRN or BGP EVPN service using segment routing transport tunnels with the auto-bind-tunnel command.

See BGP and see the 7210 SAS-Mxp, S, Sx, T Services Guide for more information about the VPRN auto-bind-tunnel CLI command.

The following service contexts are supported with SR tunnels:
