RE: MPLS TE ( Affinity)

The affinity value just needs to be matched along the path.

 

For instance on R8 change the affinity to 0x44 mask 0x44

 

Then change the 4 interfaces to attribute 0x55

 

Both Tunnels will continue to operate

 

It just matters that the hex value of 44 is on for the R8 tunnel to operate.
And then for the R9 the 11 is matched. 0x55 matches both of these as 5 has
both the 1 and 4 bit turned on.

yeah it came up.

I have given the coloring on the entire path between R8 R7 R9.

But what to do if both tunnels have different affinity values.

Gaurav

Sorry let me correct my statements.

 

You need the color configured along the entire path. You have only
configured it on the interfaces on R8 and R9. You need to configure it on
R7 interfaces as well.

 

If you remove the affinity from the tunnels then you must announce the
Loopback2 interface in ISIS for both R8 and R9. I am not sure how you said
this was working unless you had done one of the two things above.

Hi

I have done the following testing

1. Both Tunnels does not came up after shutting down the link between R8 &
R9.
2. Both Tunnels does not came up increasing the metric between R8 & R9.

Gaurav

Guarav,

 

You said it is up in one direction but it shows down in both directions.
You have configured affinity on the path from R8 to R7 to R9 but have it set
to dynamic. The dynamic path I am assuming is more preferred directly
between R8 and R9.

 

Dynamic means it is going to follow the path of your RIB. Force your RIB to
be less preferred for the direct connection

 

R8 and R9

E3/2

isis metric 1000

E2/0

isis metric 1000

 

You could also shutdown that connection to see it come up when the other
path becomes the preferred route in the RIB.

 

Your next option is to configure an explicit path to force the traffic thru
R7. You could then in that case have it fail over to the other path if you
configure your affinity on both paths.
