IP Router Configuration Command Reference
164 Router Configuration Guide
try-one-session — Once the max-time expired, the peer or tunnel 
in the blacklist is made available for selection only to a single new 
session request. Only upon successful tunnel establishment will 
the incoming new sessions be eligible to be mapped into this 
tunnel. This behavior will avoid session establishment delays in 
case that the tunnel just removed from the blacklist is still 
unavailable. 
Router Interface Commands
interface
Syntax [no] interface ip-int-name [unnumbered-mpls-tp]
[no] interface ip-int-name gmpls-loopback
Context config>router
Description This command creates a logical IP routing or unnumbered MPLS-TP interface. Once created, 
attributes like IP address, port, or system can be associated with the IP interface.
Interface names are case-sensitive and must be unique within the group of IP interfaces defined for 
config router interface and config service ies interface. Interface names must not be in the dotted 
decimal notation of an IP address.; for example, the name “1.1.1.1” is not allowed, but “int-1.1.1.1” is 
allowed. Show commands for router interfaces use either the interface names or the IP addresses. 
Ambiguity can exist if an IP address is used as an IP address and an interface name. Duplicate interface 
names can exist in different router instances, although this is not recommended because it is confusing.
When a new name is entered, a new logical router interface is created. When an existing interface name 
is entered, the user enters the router interface context for editing and configuration. 
Although not a keyword, the ip-int-name “system” is associated with the network entity (such as a 
specific router), not a specific interface. The system interface is also referred to as the loopback 
address. 
An unnumbered MPLS-TP interface is a special type of interface that is only intended for MPLS-TP 
LSPs. IP routing protocols are blocked on interfaces of this type. If an interface is configured as 
unnumbered-mpls-tp, then it can only be associated with an Ethernet port or VLAN, using the port 
command, then either a unicast, multicast, or broadcast remote MAC address may be configured. Only 
static ARP is supported.
A GMPLS loopback interface is a special type of loopback interface that is used as the IP interface for 
a GMPLS IP Control Channel (IPCC). RSVP and LMP packets associated with GMPLS are associated 
with this loopback interface. All other IP protocols are blocked on this interface. One gmpls-loopback 
interface is required for each GMPLS peer node.
The no form of the command removes the IP interface and all the associated configurations. The 
interface must be administratively shut down before issuing the no interface command.
