Option: Configuring Multiple Bypass LSPs, Manual Bypass LSPs, and Link Protection Priority

You can configure multiple bypass LSP paths for a link-protected RSVP LSP. When you enable this option, RSVP signals multiple bypasses concurrently for a link-protected LSP. To configure, start by enabling link protection or node-link protection by including the link-protection or node-link-protection statement at the [edit protocols mpls label-switched-path lsp-name] hierarchy level. To configure an RSVP interface to include multiple bypasses, specify how much bandwidth the bypasses should consume by including the bandwidth statement at the [edit protocols rsvp interface interface-name link-protection] hierarchy level. To limit the total number of bypasses that can be created, include the max-bypasses statement at the [edit protocols rsvp interface interface-name link-protection] hierarchy level.

Other bypass options include limiting the maximum number of hops a bypass LSP will traverse, selectively disallowing node-link protection, setting a timer to redistribute data periodically across the bypass LSPs, requiring strict or loose paths for the bypass LSPs, and establishing the percentage of bandwidth required for the bypass LSPs. To configure, include the hop-limit, no-node-protection, optimize-timer, path, and subscription statements, respectively, at the [edit protocols rsvp interface interface-name link-protection] hierarchy level.

Another option is to specify bypass LSPs manually. To configure, include the to and bandwidth statements at the [edit protocols rsvp interface interface-name link-protection bypass bypass-name] hierarchy level. Optionally, you can specify the hop limit and path type for the manual bypass LSP. To configure the options, include the hop-limit and path statements at the [edit protocols rsvp interface interface-name link-protection bypass bypass-name] hierarchy level.

Link protection priority enables you to provide preferred combinations of priority and class in a traffic engineering class matrix. When selecting a bypass LSP, the routing platform selects the bypass containing the lowest priority. To configure link protection priority for all bypass LSP paths, include the priority statement at the [edit protocols rsvp interface interface-name link-protection] hierarchy level. To configure link protection priority for a manually specified bypass LSP path, include the priority statement at the [edit protocols rsvp interface interface-name link-protection bypass bypass-name] hierarchy level.
