How to configure MPLS RSVP interfaces

1. To enable RSVP-TE on the interface, enter the protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface <name> command. Tunnels can only be established over interfaces that are enabled for RSVP-TE.

2. To associate an administrative group with an interface, enter the protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface <name> admin-groups <name> command. The administrative group must be defined in the globals section. This allows path affinities to exclude or include interfaces associated with specific administrative groups.

3. To set the maximum reservable bandwidth for an interface, enter the protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface <name> bandwidth-constraints maximum-reservable <1-10000000000> command. This is required to support tunnels with specific bandwidth requirements. The value can be alternatively configured with a k (kilo), m (mega) or g (giga) suffix, for example 1g.

   vyatta@R1# set protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface dp0p1s9 bandwidth-constraints maximum-reservable 2g

4. To configure the interval between successive hello packets in milliseconds, enter the protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface <name> signaling hello interval <10..65535> command. The default interval is 2 seconds. Hello packets are only sent to explicitly configured neighbors. The exchange of hello packets can be use to detect link failures in the absence of a physical notification.

5. To enable the reception of hello packets from a neighbor, enter the protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface <name> signaling hello receipt command. Incoming hello packets will be ignored if this is not enabled.

6. To configure how long to wait in milliseconds before assuming the link to be dead, enter the protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface <name> signaling hello timeout <10..65535> command. The default is 7 seconds.

   vyatta@R1#  set protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface dp0p1s9 signaling hello timeout 350

7. To configure an interval in seconds for refresh reduction transmissions, enter the protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface <name> signaling refresh interval <10..65535> command. The default is 30 seconds.

   vyatta@R1# set protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface dp0p1s9 signaling refresh interval 60

8. To disable refresh reduction procedures, enter the protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface <name> signaling refresh reduction disable command. The default is enabled.

   vyatta@R1# set protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface dp0p1s9 signaling refresh reduction disable

9. To configure the interface metric to be used with TE tunnels, enter the protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface <name> te-metric <1..65535> command. By default, the IGP metric is used.

   vyatta@R1# set protocols mpls-rsvp interfaces interface dp0p1s9 te-metric <1..65535>
