you need to enable MPLS Traffic Engineering on every router that you want to participate in MPLS TE.Afte
also need to enable it on every interface that might touch a TE tunnel
A quick way to check to make sure everything is configured is with the first three lines of the command

MPLS Traffic Engineering tunnels are represented as tunnel interfaces in the Cisco IOS Software. From this
tunnel is no different from a GRE tunnel or any other kind of tunnel you can configure.

Cisco IOS Software does not forward traffic down an interface without an IP address on it, so you need to as
Engineering tunnel you've just created. However, because TE tunnels are unidirectional and don't have the c
communicate, it's a waste of addresses to put an additional IP address on the interface.

Tells the Cisco IOS Software that this tunnel interface is an MPLS Traffic Engineering tunnel. Other possibl

Tells the Cisco IOS Software what the tunnel's endpoint is. The IP address specified here is the MPLS Traffi

You configure the amount of reservable bandwidth on a link using the following per-interface command

You can double-check your configuration using the command, The only columns that are relevant to MPLS
IP. pct is the percentage of reservable bandwidth that has actually been reserved across the link. IPis the num
reserved across that link.

Another property of MPLS Traffic Engineering that you can enable is attribute flags. An attribute flag is a 32
existence of up to 32 separate properties on that link.attributescan be 0x0 to 0xFFFFFFFF. It represents a bit
of an attribute is 0 or 1. 0x0 is the default, which means that all 32 attributes in the bitmap are 0.

One of the pieces of information that's flooded about a link is its cost, which the TE path calculation uses as
costs are associated with a linkthe TE cost and the IGP cost. This allows you to present the TE path calcu

You need to enter only two commands to enable flooding of MPLS Traffic Engineering info in OSPF:
+ mpls traffic-eng router-id Loopback0sets the TE RID. This can be a different value than the OSPF RID, bu
+ mpls traffic-eng area 0 configures the area in which traffic engineering is enabled. Generally, MPLS Traff
