  MPLS Configuration
The 
mpls show interface 
command shows the interfaces configured on an RS and the administrative group, if 
any, that is applied to an interface.  For example, in the following output the administrative group sector1 is applied to 
the interfaces R2R3 and R2R1b:
17.7.2
Constrained Shortest Path First
An ingress LSR uses the information in the traffic engineering database (TED) to calculate its LSPs across the network. 
The constrained shortest path first (CSPF) algorithm is a modification of the OSPF and IS-IS shortest path first 
calculation. With CSPF, nodes and links for an LSP are accepted or rejected based on resource availability or on 
whether administrative group or policy constraints are met. The result is an explicit route that provides the shortest 
path through the network that meets certain constraints. The explicit route, comprised of a sequence of LSR addresses, 
is passed to the signaling protocol to deliver the path information to each LSR in the LSP. 
The CSPF algorithm takes into account link-state and network state information from the TED, as well as the following 
LSP attributes:
bandwidth
hops
administrative group
setup and hold priority
strict or loose explicit route
To enable CSPF on RS routers:
1.
If OSPF is the IGP, enable traffic engineering extensions for OSPF with the 
ospf set 
traffic-engineering on
 command. If IS-IS is the IGP, enable traffic engineering extensions 
for IS-IS with the 
isis set traffic-engineering enable
 command.
Note
Traffic engineering with OSPF as the IGP requires support for opaque LSAs 
(defined by RFC 2370).  This support is enabled by default on the RS, but can be 
disabled with the 
ospf set opaque-capability off
 CLI command.  If you 
are enabling traffic engineering extensions for OSPF, make sure that opaque LSA 
support has not been disabled.
2.
Configure the dynamic LSP, as described in 
 Do not 
specify the 
no-cspf
 parameter with the 
mpls create label-switched-path
 or 
mpls set 
label-switched-path
 commands.
