Configuring a Static LSP

An LSP can be explicitly (manually) configured. The reserved range of static LSP labels is 32 to 1023. Static LSPs are configured on every node along the LSP path. The label’s forwarding information includes the address of the next hop router.

Use the following CLI syntax to configure a static LSP:

CLI Syntax:

config>router>mpls
    static-lsp lsp-name
        to ip-address
        push label nexthop ip-address 
        no shutdown

Example:

config>router# mpls
config>router>mpls# static-lsp static-LSP
config>router>mpls>static-lsp$ to 10.10.10.124
config>router>mpls>static-lsp# push 60 nexthop 10.10.42.3
config>router>mpls>static-lsp# no shutdown
config>router>mpls>static-lsp# exit

The following example displays the static LSP configuration output.

                no shutdown
