The PCE supports the computation of disjoint paths for two different LSPs originating or terminating on the same or different PE routers. To indicate this constraint to PCE, the user must configure the PCE path profile ID and path group ID the LSP belongs to. These parameters are passed transparently by PCC to PCE and are thus opaque data to the router. Use the following syntax to configure the path profile and path group:
config>router>mpls>lsp>path-profile profile-id [path-group group-id]
The association of the optional path group ID is to allow PCE determine which profile ID this path group ID must be used with. One path group ID is allowed per profile ID. The user can, however, enter the same path group ID with multiple profile IDs by executing this command multiple times. A maximum of five entries of path-profile [path-group] can be associated with the same LSP. More details of the operation of the PCE path profile are provided in the PCEP section of this guide.
