Disabling Dynamic Bypass on MPLS Interfaces

Use the disable command to manually disable dynamic bypass on a MPLS interface without deleting the interface level dynamic bypass configurations. This command brings down and deletes all the existing dynamic bypasses protecting the interface. Dynamic bypass configurations on the can be re-enabled by using no form of this command.

To disable dynamic bypass on a MPLS interface, complete the following task.

  1. Enable the device for configuration.
    device>configure
    Steps 1 through 4 enables dynamic bypass on a MPLS interface.
  2. Enable the MPLS router.
    device(config)# router mpls
  3. Enable MPLS-capable interfaces and specify the selected Ethernet interface. In this example, the selected Ethernet interface is 0/8 .
    device(config-router-mpls)# mpls-interface ethernet 0/8
  4. Enable the interface level dynamic bypass
    device(config-router-mpls-if-ethernet-0/8)# dynamic bypass
  5. Disable dynamic bypass on MPLS Ethernet interface 0/8 .
    device(config-router-mpls-if-ethernet-0/8-dynamic-bypass)# disable

Example

The following example combines the steps above to disable dynamic bypass on a selected Ethernet interface. In this example, the selected interface is 0/8 .

device>configure
device(config)# router mpls
device(config-router-mpls)# mpls-interface ethernet 0/8
device(config-router-mpls-if-ethernet-0/8)# dynamic bypass
device(config-router-mpls-if-ethernet-0/8-dynamic-bypass)# disable

To re-enable the dynamic bypass, use the no disable command.
