Configuring an SDP

Use the following syntax to create an SDP and select an encapsulation type. Only MPLS encapsulation is supported.

Note:

When you specify the far-end IP address, you are creating the tunnel; in essence, you are creating the path from point A to point B. When you configure a distributed service, you must identify an SDP ID. Use the show service sdp command to display the qualifying SDPs.

When specifying MPLS SDP parameters, you must specify an LSP. If an LSP name is specified, RSVP is used for dynamic signaling within the LSP.

LSPs are configured in the config>router>mpls context. Refer to the 7210 SAS-Mxp, R6, R12, S, Sx, T MPLS Guide for configuration and command information.

Use the following syntax to create an MPLS SDP.

— config>service>sdp sdp-id [mpls] create
    — adv-mtu-override
    — description description-string
    — far-end ip-address
    — keep-alive 
    — hello-time seconds
    — hold-down-time seconds
    — max-drop-count count
    — message-length octets
    — timeout timeout
    — no shutdown 
            — lsp lsp-name [lsp-name](only for MPLS SDPs)
    — path-mtu octets
    — signaling {off | tldp}
    — no shutdown

The following is a sample LSP-signaled MPLS SDP configuration output.
