next address


Defines/deletes the next-address hops in the path list.

Syntax: next-address ip-address [strict | loose]

ip-address

IP address of the LSR that is the next hop in the path list.

strict

Indicates that this hop in the path consists of exactly the specified LSR. The specified LSR must be adjacent.

loose

Indicates that this hop in the path may insert additional LSRs as required.

Description: A traffic engineering path list consists of all or a sub-set of the LSRs that an LSP traverses between this (ingress) router and the egress router. A path list may include only one LSR (the egress LSR) or as many as 256 LSRs.

You configure path-lists on a hop-by-hop basis. Each hop is configured as either strict or loose. If a hop is strict, the LSP uses only the specified LSR to reach the next hop. Strict hops must be to directly connected (adjacent) routers.

If the hop is loose, the LSP may insert additional hops as required. Loose hops can be to LSRs that are not directly connected to the previous hop.

Use the next-address ip-address strict command to define a next hop where the LSP traverses only the specified adjacent LSR.

Use the next-address ip-address loose command to define a next hop where additional hops may be inserted into the LSP. The specified LSR is not required to be adjacent.

Factory Default: Strict.

Command Mode: Traffic engineering path-list.

Example: In the following example:

router(config)#mpls te ospf

router(config-te)#path-list SFOtoDC

router(config-te-path-list)#next-address 12.1.1.2

Path hop number: 1

router(config-te-path-list)#next-address 16.5.1.121

Path hop number: 2

router(config-te-path-list)#next-address 16.5.2.68

Path hop number: 3

router(config-te-path-list)#exit

router(config-te)#exit

router(config)#end

router#show mpls te path-list SFOtoDC

path-list SFOtoDC

next-address 12.1.1.2

next-address 16.5.1.121

next-address 16.5.2.68
