This command is used to configure a new MPLS TDM PW for the specified CES. The signaled PW parameters are passed to the peer using Targeted LDP over the IP network. The peer specified identifies the endpoint of the PW. The pw_id parameter uniquely identifies PW service and cannot conflict with any other configured service in the network. The value is signaled and used to negotiate the PW labels between the two PW endpoint peers.
The PW is immediately signaled once the associated service information is known (e.g., TDM T1 Port, TDM E1 Port, Ethernet VLAN, etc.) and provided the administrative status of the CES is enabled. The enable setting for the CES peer does not affect the signaling of the PW. This setting only affects the preferred forwarding status. Configuration information associated with the service is signaled to the peer and both PW endpoints must have a compatible service attachment. If the service attachments are not compatible, the PW is not established and an error message is logged.
Optionally, the underlying LSP for the PW can be explicitly specified using a named LSP. When a named LSP is explicitly specified, only the specified named LSP is used to carry the PW. In the event that a specified named LSP is withdrawn, the switch signals a PW Status Code of (PSN Facing-TX Fault, Forwarding Preference-Standby). The CES remains operationally down until the named LSP is restored.
