Configuring LDP and RSVP with a Configuration Editor

To configure either LDP or RSVP as a signaling protocol on the device to establish LSPs through an IP network, perform one of the following tasks:

For information about using the J-Web and CLI configuration editors, see the J-Web Interface User Guide and the Junos CLI User Guide.

Configuring LDP-Signaled LSPs

Using LDP as a signaling protocol, you create LSPs between routers in an IP network. A sample network is shown in Figure 79.

Figure 79: Typical LDP-Signaled LSP

To establish an LSP between Routers R6 and R7, you must configure LDP on Routers R5, R6, and R7. This configuration ensures that Hosts C1 and C2 use the LDP-signaled LSP when the entry (ingress) router is R6 or R7.

To configure LDP to establish the LSP shown in Figure 79, perform these steps:

  1. Navigate to the top of the configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or CLI configuration editor.
  2. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 144.
  3. If you are finished configuring the router, commit the configuration.
  4. Go on to Verifying an LDP-Signaled LSP.

Task

J-Web Configuration Editor

CLI Configuration Editor

  5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for each transit interface on the routers in the MPLS network.
  1. Add the MPLS family to all transit interfaces. For example:

    set ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family mpls

  2. Repeat Step 1 for each transit interface on the routers in the MPLS network.

Enable the MPLS process on all MPLS interfaces for each router in the MPLS network.

(See the interface naming conventions in Network Interface Naming.)

  1. On the main Configuration page next to Protocols, click Configure or Edit.
  2. Next to Mpls, click Configure or Edit.

    set interface ge-0/0/0

  3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each transit interface on the routers in the MPLS network.

Set the keepalive interval to 10 seconds.

The keepalive interval specifies the number of seconds between the transmission of keepalive messages along the LDP link.

  1. In the Keepalive interval box, type 10.
  2. Click OK.
  3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each router in the MPLS network.

On each router in the MPLS network, enter

set keepalive-interval 10

Configuring RSVP-Signaled LSPs

Using RSVP as a signaling protocol, you create LSPs between routers in an IP network. A sample network is shown in Figure 80.

Figure 80: Typical RSVP-Signaled LSP

Image g015526.gif

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 80, perform these steps:

  1. Navigate to the top of the configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or CLI configuration editor.
  2. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 145.
  3. If you are finished configuring the router, commit the configuration.
  4. Go on to Verifying an RSVP-Signaled LSP.
