Adding an LSP admin group

MPLS interfaces can be organized into administrative groups (admin groups). Typically, an admin group is used to identify a network segment. You can use admin groups to manage CSPF path selection by including or excluding network segments identified as admin groups. If you include an admin group, only those segments in that admin group are selected. If you exclude an admin group, that admin group is excluded from CSPF path selection.

Metrics can be associated with individual admin groups and applied on the particular segments. If you do not use include and exclude to manage admin groups, paths are selected based on the metrics associated with the individual admin groups.

This dialog box is the first page of the Admin Group Configuration Wizard. It allows you to provide a name and ID for the Admin Group and to assign the ports used as interfaces.

1.Select Configure > MPLS > LSP.

2.Select the Admin Groups tab.

3.Click the Add button.

The Admin Group Configuration dialog box of the Admin Group Configuration wizard displays (Figure 333).

6.Under Available Ports, select the ports you want to include in the admin group and click the right arrow button to move the ports to Selected Ports. Note that only those physical interfaces (ports) which have an IP address assigned are shown. All other interfaces are filtered out do not display.

7.If this is a one-time deployment and you don’t want to save the admin group configuration to flash, click Deploy. If you want the configuration to persist, click Next.

If you click Next, the Persistence Properties dialog box of the Admin Group Configuration wizard displays (Figure 334).
