Configuring the Address of the Ingress Router

The local router always is considered to be the ingress router, which is the beginning of the LSP. The software automatically determines the proper outgoing interface and IP address to use to reach the next router in an LSP.

By default, the router ID is chosen as the address of the ingress router. To override the automatic selection of the source address, specify a source address in the from statement:

from address; 

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

• [edit protocols mpls label-switched-path lsp-path-name]
• [edit logical-routers logical-router-name protocols mpls label-switched-path lsp-path-name]

The outgoing interface used by the LSP is not affected by the source address that you configure.
