Configuring advanced RSVP LSP settings
Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) can be used to send signalling messages to each LSR in the
LSP to reserve resources and cause labels to be dynamically associated with interfaces. This
enables you to engineer network traffic routing to avoid points of congestion and make efficient
use of high bandwidth interfaces.
Two separate protocols are needed to perform this task:
• Routing protocol - The routing protocol distributes network topology information through the
network so that the route of an LSP can be calculated automatically.
• Signaling protocol- The signaling protocol informs the switches along the route which labels
and links to use for each LSP.
1. Select Configure > MPLS > LSP.
2. Select the RSVP LSP tab.
3. Click the Add button.
The RSVP LSP Configuration dialog box of the RSVP LSP Configuration wizard displays
(
