Configuring return path SDPs

Prerequisites

To configure the return path SDP, perform the same steps on the far-end router:

Procedure

Select an originating node.
Create an SDP ID.
Select an encapsulation type.
Select the far-end node.

What to do next

Use the following CLI syntax to create an SDP and select an encapsulation type. If you do not specify a delivery type, the default encapsulation type is GRE.

Note: When specifying the far-end IP address, a tunnel is created, the path from Point A to Point B. Use the show service sdp command to display the qualifying SDPs.

config>service# sdp sdp-id [gre | mpls | l2tpv3 | gre-eth-bridged] create
description description-string
far-end ip-address|ipv6-address
lsp lsp-name [lsp-name]
path-mtu octets
no shutdown 
keep-alive 
hello-time seconds
hold-down-time seconds
max-drop-count count
message-length octets
no shutdown 
timeout timeout

On the mirror source router, configure an SDP pointing toward the mirror destination router (or use an existing SDP).

On the mirror destination router, configure an SDP pointing toward the mirror source router (or use an existing SDP).

The following example shows SDP configurations on both the mirror source and mirror destination routers.
