OSFP TE forwarding adjacency

[shijthom]

Hi

Could please someone advise me on whether the te tunnel metric in the routing table can be controlled using the "ip ospf cost" command? I would like to have the tunnel take a different cost from the best IGP metric. How can this be done? Please let me know.

Hello,

You can change tunnel metric via. command

      tunnel mpls traffic-eng autoroute metric

for tunnel tail end the metric will be shown as the value you specified and for nodes behind tunnel tail the metric will be sum

of value specified + IGP metric from tail to end node

but if you change above command to

     tunnel mpls traffic-eng autoroute metric absolute

the metric for nodes behind tunnel tail will be same as above supplied value

There are also other oprions to affect tunnel metric like

    tunnel mpls traffic-eng autoroute metric relative

It is tunnel metric relative to the IGP cost that the tunnel would normally have.

Hopw this helps

Please take note that the ospf cost is applied to the outbound interface.

If you want to increase the metric on this tunnel interface, you must increase the cost on the opposite side.
