MPLS and RSVP
7450 ESS MPLS Guide Page 89
The protection template is associated with a LSP as a part of the MEP on the protect path. If only 
a working path is configured, then the protection template is not configured. 
BFD cannot be enabled under the MEP context unless a named BFD template is configured. 
Support for Downstream Mapping Information
In order to validate the downstream mapping for an LSP, a node sending a DSMAP TLV must 
include the incoming and (optionally) outgoing IF_Num values for the interfaces that it expects 
the LSP to transit. Additionally, it will include the out-label for the LSP in the Label TLV for the 
DSMAP in the echo request message. 
The incoming and outgoing if-num values correspond to the incoming and outgoing interfaces 
transited by an LSP at the next hop LER and LSR are configured using the dsmap command, as 
follows:
config
   router
      mpls
         lsp
            working-tp-path
               mep
                 dsmap <in-if-num>[:<out-if-num>]
config
   router
      mpls
         lsp
            protect-tp-path
               mep
                  dsmap <in-if-num>[:<out-if-num>]
config
   router
      mpls
         mpls-tp
            transit-path
               forward-path
                  mip
                     dsmap <in-if-num>[:<out-if-num>]
                     exit
                reverse-path
                   mip
                      dsmap <in-if-num>[:<out-if-num>]
                      exit
A node sending a DSMAP TLV will include these in-if-num and out-if-num (if configured) 
values. Additionally, it will include the out-label for the LSP in the Label TLV for the DSMAP in 
the echo request message.
