Hello, everyone!
In this post, I would like to shar with you how to configure a single MPLS Tunnel with Tunnel APS.
The procedures for configuring a multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) tunnel with tunnel automatic protection switching (APS) is similar to that for configuring an MPLS tunnel without tunnel APS. The difference is that tunnel APS parameters must be set for the former. This topic only describes the operations that are not required for configuring an MPLS tunnel without tunnel APS.
Prerequisites
You are an NMS user with " NE operator" privilege or higher.
Configuring Basic Parameters of an MPLS Tunnel has been completed.
Procedure
From the main menu of the U2000, choose Service > Tunnel > Create Tunnel. The Create Tunnel window is displayed.
In the basic information configuration window, set Protection Type and Switching Mode. For example, set Protection Type to 1:1 and Switching Mode to Dual-ended switching.Configure the NEs and NNI ports that the working and protection tunnels traverse and configure MPLS-TP OAM for the working and protection tunnels.
Use MPLS-TP OAM to test the bidirectional connectivity between the working and protection tunnels. The test procedure is the same as that for an MPLS tunnel without tunnel APS.
In the basic information configuration window, set Protection Type and Switching Mode. For example, set Protection Type to 1:1 and Switching Mode to Dual-ended switching.
That's all, I hope you like it.
Thank you!
