Using RSVP as a signaling protocol, you create LSPs between routers in an IP network. A sample network is shown in Figure 78.
Figure 78: Typical RSVP-Signaled LSP

To establish an LSP between routers R1 and R7, you must configure RSVP on all MPLS transit interfaces in the network. This configuration ensures that Hosts C1 and C2 use the RSVP-signaled LSP corresponding to the network IGP's shortest path. Additionally, this configuration reserves 10 Mbps of bandwidth.
To configure RSVP to establish the LSP shown in Figure 78, perform these steps:

J-Web Configuration Editor |
CLI Configuration Editor |
|---|---|---|
|
Navigate to the Interfaces level of the configuration hierarchy |
|
From the [edit] hierarchy level, enter edit interfaces |
|
Enable the MPLS family on all transit interfaces on each router in the MPLS network. |
|
|
|
Enable the MPLS process on all MPLS interfaces for each router in the MPLS network. |
|
|
|
Create the RSVP instance on each router in the MPLS network. (See the interface naming conventions in Network Interface Naming.) |
|
|
|
On the entry (ingress) router, R1, define the LSP r1–r7, using Router R7's loopback address (10.0.9.7). |
|
|
|
Reserve 10 Mbps of bandwidth on the LSP. |
|
Enter set label-switched-path r1–r7 bandwidth 10m |
|
Disable the use of the Constrained Shortest Path First (CSPF) algorithm. By disabling the CSPF algorithm, you specify that traffic through the LSP is to be routed along the network IGP's shortest path. |

Enter set label-switched-path r1–r7 no-cspf |
