Before packet services are configured, the basic parameters of a multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) tunnel needs to be set and create an L2 link. The basic parameters include the LSR ID, global MPLS-TP OAM parameters, and NNI port attributes.
Configuring the LSR ID for an NE
The ID of the label switch router (LSR) is used to identify an NE on a multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network. LSR IDs on an MPLS network are configured to specify the source and sink nodes during MPLS tunnel creation.
Configuring Global OAM Parameters
Configured global OAM parameters are valid for all tunnels and pseudo wires (PWs). Among the OAM parameters, only Carrier ID needs to be set, and the other parameters retain the default values. Therefore, global OAM parameters are set to differentiate carriers.
Allocating IP Addresses to Ports Automatically
This topic describes how to use the U2000 to automatically allocate IP addresses to ports. By using the automatic allocation function, you can quickly configure IP addresses of ports.
(Optional)Configuring NNI Port Attributes
You can set the port mode to Layer 3 and the IP address in Layer 3 Attributes manually.
Creating L2 Links
Tunnel trails can be automatically computed during multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) tunnel creation only after L2 links (known as Ethernet links) are created on the U2000.
