Configure an LSP path to use in MPLS. When configuring an LSP, the IP address of the hops that the LSP should traverse on its way to the egress router must be specified. The intermediate hops must be configured as either strict or loose meaning that the LSP must take either a direct path from the previous hop router to this router (strict) or can traverse through other routers (loose).
Use the following CLI syntax to configure a path:
config>router> mpls
— path path-name
— hop hop-index ip-address {strict | loose}
— no shutdown
The following displays a path configuration example:
A:ALA-1>config>router>mpls# info
------------------------------------------
interface "system"
exit
path "secondary-path"
hop 1 10.10.0.121 strict
hop 2 10.10.0.145 strict
hop 3 10.10.0.1 strict
no shutdown
exit
path "to-NYC"
hop 1 10.10.10.103 strict
hop 2 10.10.0.210 strict
hop 3 10.10.0.215 loose
exit
------------------------------------------
A:ALA-1>config>router>mpls#
