Static LSP and Pseudowire (VC) Label and Tunnel Ranges

The SR OS reserves a range of labels for use by static LSPs, and a range of labels for use by static pseudowires (SVCs) that is LSPs and pseudowires with no dynamic signaling of the label mapping. These are configured as follows:

config
   router
      mpls-labels
         [no] static-label max-lsp-labels <number> 
static-svc-label <number>

<number>: indicates the maximum number of labels for the label type.

The minimum label value for the static LSP label starts at 32 and expands all the way to the maximum number specified. The static VC label range is contiguous with this. The dynamic label range exists above the static VC label range (the label ranges for the respective label type are contiguous). This prevents fragmentation of the label range.

The MPLS-TP tunnel ID range is configured as follows:

config
   router
      mpls
         mpls-tp
            [no] tp-tunnel-id-range <start-id> <end-id> 

The tunnel ID range referred to here is a contiguous range of RSVP-TE Tunnel IDs is reserved for use by MPLS TP, and these IDs map to the MPLS-TP Tunnel Numbers. There are some cases where the dynamic LSPs may have caused fragmentation to the number space such that contiguous range {max-min} is not available. In these cases, the command fails.

There is no default value for the tunnel ID range, and it must be configured to enable MPLS-TP.

If a configuration of the tunnel ID range fails, then the system gives a reason. This could be that the initially requested range, or the change to the allocated range, is not available that is tunnel IDs in that range have already been allocated by RSVP-TE. Allocated Tunnel IDs are visible using a show command.

Changing the LSP or static VC label ranges does not require a reboot.

The static label ranges for LSPs, above, apply only to static LSPs configured using the CLI tree for MPLS-TP specified in this section. Different scalability constraints apply to static LSPs configured using the following CLI introduced in earlier SR OS releases:

config>router>mpls>static-lsp

config>router>mpls>if>label-map

The scalability applying to labels configured using this CLI is enforced as follows:

These two limits are independent of one another, giving a combined limit of 1000 PUSH and 1000 POP/SAP operations configured on a node.

The static LSP and VC label spaces are contiguous. Therefore, the dimensioning of these label spaces requires careful planning by an operator as increasing the static LSP label space impacts the start of the static VC label space, which may already-deployed
