Description

Enable Source Packet Routing in Networking (SPRING) or segment routing for traffic engineering packets for protocols that support segment routing. For example, you can configure segment routing capability for a BGP address family to steer traffic according to network requirements.

To enable segment routing traffic engineering for a BGP family, configure segment-routing-te at the [edit protocols bgp family inet|inet6] and [edit protocols bgp group group-name neighbor neighborfamily inet|inet6] hierarchy levels. Also, configure sr-preference-override at the [edit protocols bgp family inet|inet6 source-packet-routing] hierarchy level. This allows BGP to support segment routing policies and to steer traffic based on the segment list.

A policy action color: color-mode:color-value is configured at the [edit policy-options community namemembers] hierarchy level to categorize segment routing traffic. The color value is attached to BGP communities when exporting prefixes from inet-unicast and inet6-unicast address families, which associates a BGP community with a segment routing policy path definition.

Options

inherit-label-nexthops—Inherit label next hops for first hop in all the segment lists.

When the inherit-label-nexthops is configured at the [edit protocols source-packet-routing] hierarchy, it is applied globally, and takes precedence over individual segment-list level configuration.

For dynamic non-colored static LSPs, that is the PCEP-driven segment routing LSPs, the inherit-label-nexthops statement must be enabled globally, as the segment-level configuration is not applied.

lsp-external-controller name—Specify an external path computing entity, typically the network controller.

maximum-segment-list-depth—Specify a maximum segment list depth for segment routing traffic engineering policies.

Default: The default value is 5.

Range: 1 through 16.

retry-timer—Number of seconds to wait before trying to reconnect to the auto-translate service if the previous attempt failed. Connections may fail if there is no link, or node, for a given IP address, or if the link or node does not have a SID.

Default: 30 seconds

Range: 1 through 600

sr-preference—Specify a preference for static segment routing policies. BGP chooses a segment routing policy with a higher value over policies with lower values.

Range: 0 through 4,294,967,295

sr-preference-override—Specify a preference override for static segment routing policies that BGP uses to select a segment routing policy. BGP chooses a policy with a higher value over policies with lower values.

Default: The default value is 100

Range: 0 through4,294,967,295
