You must configure one or more control channels between the LMP peers. The control channels must travel across either a point-to-point link or a tunnel.
To configure an interface for the control channel, include the control-channel statement at the [edit protocols link-management peer peer-name] hierarchy level:
- [edit protocols link-management peer peer-name]
-
control-channel control-channel-interface;
You can configure a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) interface for the control channel. This type of interface does not require a Tunnel PIC.

Note: You can configure GRE interfaces only for GMPLS control channels. GRE interfaces are not supported or configurable for other applications. For more information, see the JUNOS Network Interfaces Configuration Guide. |
