Implementing MPLS Traffic Engineering
Enabling an AutoTunnel Backup
Perform this task to configure the AutoTunnel Backup feature. By default, this feature is disabled. You can
configure the AutoTunnel Backup feature for each interface. It has to be explicitly enabled for each interface
or link.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure
2. ipv4 unnumbered mpls traffic-eng Loopback 0
3. mpls traffic-eng
4. auto-tunnel backup timers removal unused frequency
5. auto-tunnel backup tunnel-id min minmax max
6. Use the commit or end command.
7. show mpls traffic-eng auto-tunnel backup summary

Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Configures the globally configured IPv4 address that can be used
by the AutoTunnel Backup Tunnels.
Loopback 0 is the router ID. The AutoTunnel Backup
Note
tunnels will not come up until a global IPv4 address is
configured.
Enters MPLS-TE configuration mode.
Configures how frequently a timer scans the backup automatic
tunnels and removes tunnels that are not in use.
• Use the frequency argument to scan the backup automatic
tunnel. Range is 0 to 10080.
Note
You can also configure the auto-tunnel backup command
at mpls traffic-eng interface mode.
