RSVP Configuration Guidelines

To configure the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), you include statements at the [edit protocols rsvp] hierarchy level:

[edit]

protocols {

    rsvp {

        disable;

        graceful-restart {

            disable;

            helper-disable;

        }

        interface interface-name {

            disable; 

            (aggregate | no-aggregate); 

            authentication-key key; 

            bandwidth bps;

            hello-interval seconds;

            link-protection {

                bandwidth bandwidth;

                class-of-service class-of-service-value;

                disable;

                path address <strict | loose>;

            }

            node-link-protection;

            subscription percentage;

            update-threshold threshold;

            }

        }

        keep-multiplier number;

        peer-interface peer-name;

        preemption ( aggressive | disabled | normal );

        refresh-time seconds; 

        traceoptions {

            file filename <replace> <size size> <files number> <no-stamp>

                <(world-readable | no-world-readable)>; 

            flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>; 

        }

    }

}

By default, RSVP is disabled.
