Dynamic bypass naming

An automatic naming format based on type of protection it provides uniquely names the dynamic bypass LSPs. Below is the format of the dynamic bypass LSP naming scheme.

For link protection:

name prefix - protected interface local IP address - 4-digit-number

Example

dbyp-12.1.1.1-888                

For node protection:

name prefix - protected interface local IP address - MP node router ID IP address - 4-digit-number

Example

dbyp-12.1.1.1-2.2.2.2-999

When looking at the name of the dynamic bypass LSP, it is possible to determine if the dynamic bypass LSP is a link protecting dynamic bypass LSP or node protecting dynamic bypass LSP. If the dynamic bypass LSP name has only one IP address in it then consider it as a link protection dynamic bypass LSP. If it has two IP addresses in its name then consider it as a node protection dynamic bypass LSP.

Additional useful information in this format is that the node protecting dynamic bypass LSP has the merge point IP address in it, so that user can easily know the MP router of dynamic bypass LSP just by looking at the name of the dynamic bypass LSP.

Note

Note

Dynamic bypass LSP naming is a default behavior. The user can override the naming scheme.
