About the Tunnel Tab (Planner)

On the Tunnels tab of the network table (Planning > Networks > Offline Models > Model-Name > Open), view the information about label-switched paths (LSPs) in your offline network.

Tasks You Can Perform

You can perform the following tasks on the Tunnels tab:

  • View tunnel traffic—You can view the historical data for tunnel traffic. To view tunnel traffic, select one or more tunnels from the list and click View > Tunnel Traffic. The tunnel traffic page appears. On this page, you can view a graphical representation of tunnel traffic that has been collected over a period. This historical data provides you valuable insights into past trends and patterns.

    Click the pin icon to pin the page anywhere on the screen so that you can continuously monitor the historic data.

    Note: For Routing Director to display the tunnel traffic graph, you must have imported a production network along with data. Also, ensure that you have loaded an interface statistic file from the View Stats page (Planning > Networks > Offline Models > Model-Name > More > View Stats). For more information, see Traffic Matrix Workflow.

  • Download—To download tunnels-related data to your local system, click Download. The data is downloaded to your local system as a comma-separated values (CSV) file.

  • From the More list, you can perform the following tasks:

    • View details of a tunnel—To view the details of a tunnel, you can do one of the following:

      • Select a tunnel on the table and click More > Show Details.

      • Hover over a tunnel row in the table and click the Details icon.

      The Tunnel - Tunnel-Name page appears.

    • Add tunnels to the network model—Click + to add new tunnels. For more information see Create a Tunnel (Planner).

    • Reload—To view the latest changes in the network table, click Reload.

  • To perform common actions such as filtering using advanced filter criteria and resetting preferences, see Network Table Overview.
