The following steps must be performed to configure MPLS-TP LSPs or PWs.
At the router LER and LSR:
Create an MPLS-TP context, containing nodal MPLS-TP identifiers. This is configured under config>router>mpls>mpls-tp.
Ensure that a sufficient range of labels is reserved for static LSPs and PWs. This range is configured under config>router>mpls-labels>static-label-range.
Ensure that a range of tunnel identifiers is reserved for MPLS-TP LSPs under config>router>mpls-mpls-tp>tp-tunnel-id-range.
A user may optionally configure MPLS-TP interfaces, which are interfaces that do not use IP addressing or ARP for next hop resolution. These can only be used by MPLS-TP LSPs.
At the router LER, configure:
OAM Templates. These contain generic parameters for MPLS-TP proactive OAM. An OAM template is configured under config>router>mpls>mpls-tp>oam-template.
BFD templates. These contain generic parameters for BFD used for MPLS-TP LSPs. A BFD template is configured under config>router>bfd>bfd-template.
Protection templates. These contain generic parameters for MPLS-TP 1-for-1 linear protection. A protection template is configured under config>router>mpls>mpls-tp>protection-template.
MPLS-TP LSPs are configured under config>router>mpls>lsp mpls-tp
Pseudowires using MPLS-TP are configured as spoke SDPs with static PW labels.
At an LSR, a user must configure an LSP transit-path under config>router>mpls>mpls-tp>transit-path.
The following sections describe these configuration steps in more detail.
