MPLS TE configuration, path protection! Command accepted but obsolete, unreleased or unsupported; see documentation

[tchindawill]

I would really appreciate if someone can suggest me something;

When i issue the command " tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option protect 2 explicit name R3-R1" for tunnel path protection,

the system replies:

% Command accepted but obsolete, unreleased or unsupported; see documentation.

% Not valid in active submode of Label Switching mode

It seems that my IOS version does not support that command! Should i definitively upgrade the IOS?

my platform is actually IOS 12.2 (33) SBR5!

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

MPLS TE Path protection feature is supported only from 12.2(33)SRC release. You wont be able to see teh CLI in 12.2(33)SRB releases. But for some internal arch reason it will accept the command and throw this error message to warn about the feature support.

You can load 12.2(33)SRC or later release if you are looking for Path protection feature.
