EoMPLS VC Path

[cristiangal]

Hi,

Is there any way that I can force the path for a EoMPLC VC other that playing with the IGP ? Also since the mpls core is redundant I want the have a VC via one path and if that path fails the VC should stay down ... is this possible ?

Regards,

Cristian

You can actually achieve this by using MPLS TE and the tunnel selection feature.

You would first configure a tunnel, configure the pseudowire to use this specific tunnel and not to take any other path if the tunnel goes downand then configure this specific pseudowire-class on the xconnect statement.

Please refer to te following URL for more information the tunnel selection feature.

I believe Harold missed the /products/ folder in the link as a typo.

Anyways here is the link again which he wants you to use.

Sorry about that. Thanks Swaroop for posting the proper URL.

I think I've understand it. Just create the tunnel from PE to PE via a predefined path and a pseudowire-class using that tunnel and just apply the pw-class to xconnect. I wouldn't use TE since I'm not very familiar to it but I guess I will have to start look into it more closely.

Thanks for the help,
