default-te-metric


Configures a default value to be used by interfaces not explicitly configured for MPLS TE metric.

Syntax: [no] default-te-metric {teValue | igp}

teValue

Specifies the default MPLS TE value used by interfaces not explicitly configured. Valid Values: 1 - 16777215 metric style wide or 1 - 63 metric style narrow (IS-IS only). Default: 20.

igp

Specifies that the IGP metric value is to be used by interfaces not explicitly configured with an MPLS TE metric.

Description: If an MPLS traffic engineering metric is not explicitly set, the interface metric defaults to the IGP metric set by the ip ospf cost command for an OSPF interface or the isis metric command for an IS-IS interface. IPriori provides for specifying a specific MPLS TE default metric value or specifying that the IGP metric will be the default value.

If an IGP route's lowest cost is via an attached MPLS-TE tunnel and all links along the way are TE enabled, IPriori converts the route to MPLS.

Use the default-te-metric command to specify how the default MPLS TE interface metric should be handled, i.e. a specified TE metric default or the IGP configured value.

Use the default-te-metric teValue command to configure a specific default MPLS TE metric for interfaces not explicitly configured using the mpls te metric command.

Use the default-te-metric igp command to specify that the configured IGP metric value should be used when creating tunnels for any interface not explicitly configured using the mpls te metric command.

Use the no default-te-metric command to reset the default MPLS TE metric to the configured IGP metric.

Factory Default: The configured IGP metric for this interface

Command Mode: Global Configuration.

Example: The following example:

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#default-te-metric igp

router(config)#interface pos 1/1/1

router(config-if)#mpls te metric 200

router(config-if)#exit

router(config)#interface pos 1/1/2

router(config-if)#isis metric 100 level-2

router(config-if)#end

router#

The MPLS TE metric values for the above example are as follows:

Example: The following example:
