Enabling a Signaled LSP

Enabling the LSP causes the path to be set up and resources reserved on the LSRs in the LSPs primary path.

After the user sets the parameters for the signaled LSP, the user can enable it. Enabling the LSP is the final step in configuring it.

To enable LSP tunnel1, complete the following steps.

  1. Enable the device for configuration.
    device# configure
  2. Enable the MPLS router.
    device(config)# router mpls
  3. Configure the label switched path (LSP).
    device(config-router-mpls)# lsp tunnel1
    In this example, the selected LSP name is tunnel1.
  4. Establish the LSP.
    device(config-router-mpls-lsp-tunnel1)# enable

Example

The following example shows enabling LSP tunnel1.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router mpls
device(config-router-mpls)# lsp tunnel1
device(config-router-mpls-lsp-tunnel1)# enable
