If you want to control exactly which switches are selected for the LSP, specify the address or hostname of each transit switch. Specify the addresses in order, starting with the first provider (transit) switch, and continuing sequentially along the path until reaching the egress provider edge switch.
Default: If you do not specify the addresses or hostnames of any switches, the LSP is calculated by the switch.
hostname —(Optional) See address .
Default: If you do not specify the addresses or hostnames of any switches, the LSP is calculated by the switch.
