Path Option

You can configure multiple paths for an LSP with the tunnel mpls path-option command. Each path option has an identifying number; the lower the number the higher the preference for that path option. In this scenario, only a single LSP is up and active at a time. If the path option currently in use by an LSP goes down, MPLS tries to reroute the tunnel using the path option with the next highest preference. In certain circumstances—for example, when a tunnel is preempted by another—MPLS first attempts to reroute the tunnel with the current path option.
