Exporting LSP Configuration Details for Use in Other Scenarios
You can reuse LSPs that you have configured elsewhere by exporting the LSP configuration details to an ASCII file and using this file to create LSPs in the network.
Procedure 6-7 Exporting LSP Configuration to an ASCII File
1From the Protocols > MPLS menu, choose Browse/Edit LSP Information....
➥The LSP Browser appears.
2Click Export to export the LSP configuration for all LSPs to a file.
➥The Output File Name dialog box appears.
3Specify a name for the file.
4Click OK to perform the export.
➥The file is saved in the primary models directory.
5Click Cancel to close the LSP Browser.
End of Procedure 6-7
The exported file contains the attribute settings of all LSPs in the network. You can use the file as is in other scenarios, or you can modify the file to add, remove, or change LSPs. Notice that the LSP configuration file closely resembles the Path Details table for each LSP.
Procedure 6-8 Using an LSP Configuration File in a Scenario
1Open the MPLS Configuration object’s Attributes dialog box.
2Select the LSP configuration file you wish to import from the LSP Specification File
3Click OK to close the Attributes dialog box.
➥The LSPs are added to the scenario. By default, LSPs from files are not displayed in the network. To display these LSPs, open the LSP browser and set their Display attributes to Yes.
End of Procedure 6-8
If you are using an LSP configuration file in your network, any changes to LSPs that you make in the LSP browser are subsequently written to the configuration file when you click OK to close the browser.
