Prerequisites for MPLS TE Automatic Bandwidth Adjustment for TE Tunnels

Your network must support the following:

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) traffic engineering (TE) tunnels
Cisco Express Forwarding
Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

MPLS TE must be configured on the interface and on the tunnels.

Restrictions for MPLS TE Automatic Bandwidth Adjustment for TE Tunnels

The automatic bandwidth adjustment feature treats each tunnel for which it has been enabled independently. That is, it adjusts the bandwidth for each such tunnel according to the adjustment frequency configured for the tunnel and the sampled output rate for the tunnel since the last adjustment without regard for any adjustments previously made or pending for other tunnels.
If a tunnel is brought down to calculate a new label switched path (LSP) because the LSP is not operational, the configured bandwidth is not saved. If the router is reloaded, the last saved automatic bandwidth value is used.
You cannot configure MPLS TE over the logical generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel interface.
MPLS traffic engineering supports only a single IGP process/instance. Multiple IGP processes/instances are not supported and MPLS traffic engineering should not be configured in more than one IGP process/instance.

Information About MPLS TE Automatic Bandwidth Adjustment for TE Tunnels

MPLS TE Automatic Bandwidth Adjustment for TE Tunnels Overview
MPLS TE Automatic Bandwidth Adjustment for TE Tunnels Benefits

MPLS TE Automatic Bandwidth Adjustment for TE Tunnels Overview

Traffic engineering autobandwidth samples the average output rate for each tunnel marked for automatic bandwidth adjustment. For each marked tunnel, the feature periodically (for example, once per day) adjusts the tunnel’s allocated bandwidth to be the largest sample for the tunnel since the last adjustment.

The frequency with which tunnel bandwidth is adjusted and the allowable range of adjustments is configurable on a per-tunnel basis. In addition, the sampling interval and the interval over which to average tunnel traffic to obtain the average output rate is user-configurable on a per-tunnel basis.

MPLS TE Automatic Bandwidth Adjustment for TE Tunnels Benefits

The automatic bandwidth feature allows you to configure and monitor the bandwidth for MPLS TE tunnels. If automatic bandwidth is configured for a tunnel, TE automatically adjusts the tunnel’s bandwidth.

Configuring an MPLS Traffic Engineering Tunnel

To configure an MPLS TE tunnel, perform the following task. The MPLS TE tunnel has two path setup options: a preferred explicit path and a backup dynamic path.

Note

The configuration applies only to the TE head-end node. The configuration applies to all nodes and interfaces in the network.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. interface tunnel number

4. ip unnumbered interface-type interface-number

5. tunnel destination ip-address

6. tunnel mode mpls traffic-eng

7. tunnel mpls traffic-eng bandwidth bandwidth

8. tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option [protect] preference-number{dynamic | explicit | {name path-name | path-number}} [lockdown]

9. exit

10. exit

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

interface tunnel number

Example:

Router(config)# interface tunnel 1

Configures a tunnel interface and enters interface configuration mode.

Step 4

ip unnumbered interface-type interface-number

Example:

Router(config-if)# ip unnumbered loopback 0

Gives the tunnel interface an IP address that is the same as that of interface Loopback0.

An MPLS TE tunnel interface should be unnumbered because it represents a unidirectional link.

Note

This command is not effective until Lookback0 has been configured with an IP address.

Step 5

tunnel destination ip-address

Example:

Router(config-if)# tunnel destination 10.3.3.3

Specifies the destination for a tunnel.

The destination must be the MPLS TE router ID of the destination device.

Step 6

tunnel mode mpls traffic-eng

Example:

Router(config-if)# tunnel mode mpls traffic-eng

Sets the encapsulation mode of the tunnel to MPLS TE.

Step 7

tunnel mpls traffic-eng bandwidth bandwidth

Example:

Router(config-if)# tunnel mpls traffic-eng bandwidth 250

Configures the bandwidth for the MPLS TE tunnel.

The bandwidth argument is the bandwidth, in kilobits per second, set for the MPLS TE tunnel. The range is from 1 to 4294967295. The default is 0.
If automatic bandwidth is configured for the tunnel, the tunnel mpls traffic-eng bandwidth command configures the initial tunnel bandwidth, which will be adjusted by the autobandwidth mechanism.

Note

If you configure a tunnel’s bandwidth with the tunnel mpls traffic-eng bandwidth command and the minimum amount of automatic bandwidth with the tunnel mpls traffic-eng auto-bwcommand, the minimum amount of automatic bandwidth adjustment is the lower of those two configured values.

Step 8

tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option [protect] preference-number{dynamic | explicit | {name path-name | path-number}} [lockdown]

Example:

Router(config-if)# tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option 10 explicit avoid-protected-link

Configures the tunnel to use a named IP explicit path or a path dynamically calculated from the TE topology database.

A dynamic path is used if an explicit path is currently unavailable.

Step 9

exit

Example:

Router(config-if)# exit

Exits to global configuration mode.

Step 10

exit

Example:

Router(config)# exit

Exits to privileged EXEC mode.

Troubleshooting Tips

Each tunnel mpls traffic-eng auto-bw command supersedes the previous one. Therefore, if you want to specify multiple options for a tunnel, you must specify them all in a single tunnel mpls traffic-eng auto-bw command.

Enabling Automatic Bandwidth Adjustment on a Platform

To enable automatic bandwidth adjustment on a platform and initiate sampling the output rate for tunnels configured for bandwidth adjustment, perform the following task.

Note

This task is applicable only to the TE head-end router. The configuration applies to all locally-configured TE head-end interfaces.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. mpls traffic-eng auto-bw timers [frequency seconds]

4. no mpls traffic-eng auto-bw timers

5. exit

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Example: Router> enable	Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	configure terminal Example: Router# configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3	mpls traffic-eng auto-bw timers [frequency seconds] Example: Router(config)# mpls traffic-eng auto-bw timers frequency 300	Enables automatic bandwidth adjustment on a platform and begins sampling the output rate for tunnels that have been configured for automatic bandwidth adjustment. The frequency keyword specifies the interval, in seconds, for sampling the output rate of each tunnel configured for automatic bandwidth. The range is 1 through 604800. The recommended value is 300.
Step 4	no mpls traffic-eng auto-bw timers Example: Router(config)# no mpls traffic-eng auto-bw timers	(Optional) Disables automatic bandwidth adjustment on a platform. Use the no version of the command, whichterminates output rate sampling and bandwidth adjustment for tunnels. In addition, the no form of the command restores the configured bandwidth for each tunnel where the configured bandwidth is determined as follows: If the tunnel bandwidth was explicitly configured via the tunnel mpls traffic-eng bandwidth command after the running configuration was written to the startup configuration, the configured bandwidth is the bandwidth specified by that command. Otherwise, the configured bandwidth is the bandwidth specified for the tunnel in the startup configuration.
Step 5	exit Example: Router(config)# exit	Exits to privileged EXEC mode.

Example:

Router# show running-config
.
.
.
interface tunnel1
  ip unnumbered loopback 0
  tunnel destination 192.168.17.17 255.255.255.0
  tunnel mode mpls traffic-eng
  tunnel mpls traffic-eng bandwidth 1500
  tunnel mpls traffic-eng priority 1 1
  tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option 1 dynamic

tunnel mpls traffic-eng auto bw max-bw 2000 min-bw 1000 !Enable automatic bandwidth

Example:

.
.
.

The sample output from the show running-config command shows that the value 1500, in the tunnel mpls traffic-eng bandwidth 1500 command, changes after an adjustment is made.

Example:

Configuration Examples for MPLS TE Automatic Bandwidth Adjustments for TE Tunnels

The figure below illustrates a sample MPLS topology. The following sections contain sample configuration examples to configure automatic bandwidth adjustment for MPLS TE tunnels originating on Router 1 and to enable automatic bandwidth adjustment for Tunnel 1.

Figure 1. Sample MPLS Traffic Engineering Tunnel Configuration

The examples omit some configuration required for MPLS TE, such as the required RSVP and Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) (IS-IS or OSPF) configuration, because the purpose of these examples is to illustrate the configuration for automatic bandwidth adjustment.

Example: Configuring MPLS Traffic Engineering Automatic Bandwidth
Example: Tunnel Configuration for Automatic Bandwidth

Example: Configuring MPLS Traffic Engineering Automatic Bandwidth

The following example shows how to use the mpls traffic-eng auto-bw timers command to enable automatic bandwidth adjustment for Router 1. The command specifies that the output rate is to be sampled every 10 minutes for tunnels configured for automatic bandwidth adjustment.
