Configuring MPLS Traffic Engineering and Fast Reroute
Configuring a Protected Link to Use a Backup Tunnel
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a protected link to use the backup
tunnel:
To remove the backup tunnel configuration, enter the no mpls traffic-eng backup-path tunnel interface
configuration command.
Configuring Fast Reroute Failure Detection (Optional)
This configuration is needed only when loss of signal cannot be detected.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure fast reroute failure detection:
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id Specify the interface ID of the protected link and enter interface
configuration mode.
Step 3
mpls traffic-eng backup-path tunnel
tunnel-id
Configure the interface to use a backup tunnel in the event of a
detected failure on that interface. You can enter this command
multiple times to associate the protected interface with multiple
backup tunnels.
Step 4
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show mpls traffic-eng fast-reroute
database
Verify the that backup protection is configured. A ready status means
that the tunnel is ready to switch to backup; an active status means
that tunnel traffic is on backup.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ip rsvp signalling hello Globally enable Hello signalling on the switch.
Step 3
interface interface-id Specify an interface ID, and enter interface configuration mode.
Step 4
ip rsvp signalling hello fast-reroute refresh
misses number
Configure the number of consecutive RSVP TE hello
acknowledgments a node can miss before the node communication
with its neighbor status is down. Valid values are from 4 to 10. The
default is 4.
Step 5
ip rsvp signalling hello fast-reroute refresh
interval interval-value
Configure the frequency, in milliseconds, at which a node sends
hello messages to a neighbor. Valid values are from 10 to 30000 (.01
to 30 seconds). The default frequency is 1000 milliseconds (10
seconds).
Note To prevent false detection of a down neighbor and
unnecessarily triggering fast reroute, we recommend
configuring a minimum frequency of 200 ms.
Step 6
ip rsvp signalling hello Enable Hello signalling on the interface.
Step 7
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
