Release Information
Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.
Description
Create a named path and optionally specify the sequence of explicit routers that form the path.
You must include this statement when configuring explicit LSPs.
Options
address—IP address of each transit router in the LSP. You must specify the address or hostname of each transit router, although you do not need to list each transit router if its type is loose. As an option, you can include the ingress and egress routers in the path. Specify the addresses in order, starting with the ingress router (optional) or the first transit router, and continuing sequentially along the path until reaching the egress router (optional) or the router immediately before the egress router.
Default: If you do not specify any routers explicitly, no routing limitations are imposed on the LSP.
hostname—See address.
Default: If you do not specify any routers explicitly, no routing limitations are imposed on the LSP.
loose—(Optional) Indicate that the next address in the path statement is a loose link. This means that the LSP can traverse through other routers before reaching this router.
Default: strict
path-name—Name that identifies the sequence of nodes that form an LSP. The name can contain up to 32 characters and can include letters, digits, periods, and hyphens. To include other characters or use a longer name, enclose the name in quotation marks. The name must be unique within the ingress router.
strict—(Optional) Indicate that the LSP must go to the next address specified in the path statement without traversing other nodes. This is the default.
Required Privilege Level
routing—To view this statement in the configuration.
routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
