admin-group

Administrative groups, also known as resource classes or link colors, allows the user to assign MPLS-enabled interfaces to various classes. When a device calculates the path for an LSP, it can take into account the administrative group to which a interface belongs; the user can specify which administrative groups the device can include or exclude when making its calculation.

Syntax

admin-group admin_name admin_group_num
no admin-group admin_name admin_group_num

Command Default

The command is disabled, by default.

Parameters

admin_name
Specifies the selected administrative group name.
admin_group_number
Specifies the selected administrative group number. The number range is 0-31.

Modes

MPLS policy mode.

Usage Guidelines

Up to 32 administrative groups can be configured on the device. The user can see an administrative group either by its name or its number. Before the user can see an administrative group by its name, the user must specify a name for the group at the MPLS policy level and associate the name with that administrative group‘s number.

After the user associates an administrative group name with a number, the user can see it by name when assigning interfaces to the group or including or excluding the group from LSP calculations.

The no form of the command disables specified admin-group.

MPLS is supported on the Extreme 8820, SLX 9740, SLX 9640, and SLX 9540 devices only.

Examples

The following example establishes three administrative groups.
