Enabling OSPF Shortcuts

To enable OSPF shortcuts:

1. Navigate to the Global Configuration Mode.
   

   SLX# configure terminal
   SLX (config)# 

2. Navigate into the Router MPLS context.
   

   SLX (config)# router mpls
   SLX (config-router-mpls)# 

3. Navigate into the LSP context. If the LSP is not created, this will create a new LSP.
   

   SLX (config-router-mpls)# lsp test-lsp
   SLX (config-router-mpls-lsp-test-lsp)# 

4. Disable the LSP before configuring LSP Shortcuts.
   

   SLX (config-router-mpls-lsp-test-lsp)# no enable
   SLX (config-router-mpls-lsp-test-lsp)#

5. Enable OSPF shortcuts.
   

   SLX (config-router-mpls-lsp-test-lsp)# shortcuts ospf
   SLX (config-router-mpls-lsp-test-lsp)# 

6. Optional: To ignore the configured metric for this LSP, use this command.
   

   SLX (config-router-mpls-lsp-test-lsp)# shortcuts ospf ignore-lsp-metric
   SLX (config-router-mpls-lsp-test-lsp)# 

7. Enable the LSP after configuring LSP Shortcuts.
   

   SLX (config-router-mpls-lsp-test-lsp)# enable
   SLX (config-router-mpls-lsp-test-lsp)#

This example is the consolidation of the above steps and show the additional configuration of ignoring LSP metrics:

SLX# configure terminal
SLX (config)# router mpls
SLX (config-router-mpls)# lsp test-lsp
SLX (config-router-mpls-test-lsp)# shortcuts ospf ignore-lsp-metric
