Configuring bypass LSP priority values

About this task

The user can configure the bypass LSP setup and hold priority values by using the priority command. Only those backup paths with a priority less than or equal to the holding-priority of the bypass LSP are able to ride the bypass LSP.

To configure the bypass LSP priority values, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Enable the device foe 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 priority command. In this example, the set-up-priority is configured to six (6) and the hold-priority is set to four (4).
    device(config-router-mpls-bypass-lsp-my-bypass-lsp)# priority 6 4

Example

The following example combines the steps above to configure a static bypass LSP with a unique bypass LSP of my-bypass-lsp and priority values of six (6) for the setup-priority and a value of four (4) for the hold-priority .

device>configure
device(config)# router mpls
device(config-router-mpls)# bypass-lsp my-bypass-lsp
device(config-router-mpls-bypass-lsp-my-bypass-lsp)# priority 6 4
