RSVP Configuration Guidelines

To configure the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), you include the rsvp statement:

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;

            (reliable | no-reliable);

            subscription percentage ;

            update-threshold threshold;

            }

        }

        keep-multiplier number ;

        peer-interface peer-name;

        preemption {

            ( disabled | aggressive | normal );

            soft-preemption {

                cleanup-timer seconds;

            }

        }

        refresh-time seconds ; 

        traceoptions {

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

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

            flag flag <flag-modifier > <disable>; 

        }

    }

}

You can configure these statements at the following hierarchy levels:

• [edit logical-routers logical-router-name protocols]
• [edit protocols]

By default, RSVP is disabled.
