In MPLS-TE to config explicit route on the p2p links, can it be ip unumbered ? pros and cons of making it ip unumbered

[Harold Ritter]

Shafik,

MPLS TE does not currently support unnumbered links.

Hope this helps,

ok, any plans ios will do this ?, junos does :),lastly does MPLS-TE ER require the p2p ip addresses dumped into igp ?

[Harold Ritter]

I will check what are the plans for the unnumbered support.

Well, the p2p ip address doesn't need to be in the IGP. For instance you could "advertise passive-only" for isis and only propagate the lo0 interface in the IGP and the TE tunnels would still work fine.

Hope this helps,

Harold,

thanks, yes isis has the right knob, is it going to be available for ospvv2?

Shafik,

As far as I know, this is still work in progress.

Hope this helps,
