Configuring bypass LSP bandwidth parameters

The user can configure the bypass LSP bandwidth parameters using the traffic-engineering command. There are three parameters, max-burst, max-rate, and mean-rate. All the three traffic-engineering parameters are adaptive parameters.

The bandwidth protected backup paths consume the bypass bandwidth.

to configure the bypass LSP bandwidth parameters, complete the following steps.

  1. Enable the device for configuration.
    device>configure
  2. Enable the MPLS router
    device(config)# router mpls
  3. Configure the bypass LSP with the unique static bypass LSP name. In this example, the name is my-bypass-lsp .
    device(config-router-mpls)# bypass-lsp my-bypass-lsp
  4. Configure the bypass LSP bandwidth parameters. In this example, the mean-rate is configured to 2000 kbps., the max-rate is configured to 4000 kbps., and the max-burst is configured to 3000 kbps.
    device(config-router-mpls-bypass-lsp-my-bypass-lsp)# traffic-engineering mean-rate 2000 max-rate 4000 max-burst 3000          
    

Example

The following example combines the steps above to configure a static bypass LSP with a unique bypass LSP of my-bypass-lsp with the mean-rate configured to 2000 kbps., the max-rate configured to 4000 kbps., and the max-burst configured to 3000 kbps.

device>configure
device(config)# router mpls
device(config-router-mpls)# bypass-lsp my-bypass-lsp
device(config-router-mpls-bypass-lsp-my-bypass-lsp)# traffic-engineering mean-rate 2000 max-rate 4000 max-burst 3000
