To generate multiple
bypass tunnels to protect an interface:
-
Navigate
to the Links tab on the Network Info
table.
-
Select the links to be modified and click
Modify.
-
Click the
MPLS/TE
tab.
Figure 1: Auto Bypass Parameters
-
In the MPLS/TE Parameters section, select
yes
from the FRR A and/or FRR Z selection boxes depending upon which side of the
link will be protected. This will enable the corresponding column in the Auto
Bypass Parameters section.
-
In the Auto Bypass Parameters section, the following fields can be
configured:
-
Max Num Bypasses: Indicates the maximum number
of bypass tunnels for protecting an interface. This statement
enables multiple bypasses for link protection.
-
Bandwidth: Indicates the bandwidth of each of
the bypass tunnels created
-
Subscription: Indicates the percentage of
primary tunnel bandwidth that can be protected by each bypass
tunnel. For example, setting the subscription factor to 2000 %
enables a bypass tunnel of bandwidth 50K to protect a primary tunnel
of bandwidth 1M.
-
Node Protection: Indicates whether the bypass
tunnels created will protect a node (if on) or link (if off)
