The following shows the detailed configuration for the creation of a mesh of SR-TE auto-LSPs. The network uses IS-IS with the backbone area being in Level 2 and the leaf areas being in Level 1.
The NSP is used for network discovery only and the NRC-P learns the network topology using BGP-LS.
Figure: Multi-level IS-IS topology in the NSP GUI shows the view of the multi-level IS-IS topology in the NSP GUI. The backbone L2 area is highlighted in green.
Figure: Multi-level IS-IS topology in the NSP GUI
The mesh of SR-TE auto-LSPs is created in the backbone area and originates on an ABR node with address 192.168.48.199 (Phoenix 199). The LSP template uses a default path that includes an anycast SID prefix corresponding to a transit routers 192.168.48.184 (Dallas 184) and 192.168.48.185 (Houston 185).
The following is the configuration of transit router Dallas 184, which shows the creation of a loopback interface with the anycast prefix and the assignment of a SID to it. The same configuration must be performed on the transit router Houston 185. See lines marked with an asterisk (*).

In the ingress LER Phoenix 199 router, the anycast SID is learned from both transit routers, but is currently resolved in IS-IS to transit router Houston 185. See lines marked with an asterisk (*).
