Configuring IP and MPLS in an Overlay Network to Use a GMPLS LSP

IP and MPLS is able to use GMPLS LSPs as transport by bringing a numbered or unnumbered IP interface to an endpoint of one or more gLSPs. This IP interface appears as any other IP interface bound to a network port. The IP interface is bound to the GMPLS tunnel group by a GMPLS tunnel group number configured in the port command.

The GMPLS tunnel group number must correspond to a locally configured GMPLS tunnel group.

The following CLI tree illustrates where the GMPLS tunnel group is referenced. This must be done at the nodes at the tunnel groups at both ends of the transport service.

config
   router 
      interface if-name
         address a.b.c.d | ipv6-address
         port gmpls-tunnel-group gmpls-tunnel-group-id
