Usage Guidelines
Use this command to specify the metric type to be used for traffic engineering (TE) tunnels for which
the tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-selection metric command has not been specified.
the tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-selection metric command has not been specified.
The metric type to be used for path calculation for a given tunnel is determined as follows:
•
If the tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-selection metric command was entered to specify a metric type
for the tunnel, use that metric type.
for the tunnel, use that metric type.
•
Otherwise, if the mpls traffic-eng path-selection metric was entered to specify a metric type, use
that metric type.
that metric type.
•
Otherwise, use the default (te) metric.
Examples
The following command specifies that if a metric type was not specified for a given TE tunnel, the igp
metric should be used for tunnel path calculation:
metric should be used for tunnel path calculation:
Router(config)# mpls traffic-eng path-selection metric igp
