Creating a Static MPLS Tunnel

You can create an end-to-end unicast MPLS tunnel on a per-NE basis. To create such a tunnel, create a tunnel at each node involved in the tunnel.

Prerequisites

  • You must complete the correct configuration of the port attributes.
  • You must complete the correct setting of the LSR ID for each NE.

Procedure

  1. Select the source NE of the tunnel in the NE Explorer. Choose Configuration > Packet Configuration > MPLS Management > Unicast Tunnel Management from Function Tree.
  2. Click the Static Tunnel tab and click New. The New Unicast Tunnel dialog box is displayed.
  3. Configure parameters of the forward and reverse tunnels.

    NOTE:

    When Node Type is set to Egress, Bandwidth (kbit/s) must be consistent with the tunnel bandwidth in the Ingress direction and cannot be set.

    For Next Hop Address, set the IP address of the interface of the next node.

  4. Click OK to finish creation of the static tunnel.
  5. Follow Steps 1 - 4 to create static tunnels for Transit nodes and the Egress node.
