Exporting LSP Configuration Details for Use in Other Scenarios
You can reuse LSPs that you have configured elsewhere by exporting the LSP
configuration details to an ASCII file and using this file to create LSPs in the
network.
Procedure 6-7 Exporting LSP Configuration to an ASCII File
1 From the Protocols > MPLS menu, choose Browse/Edit LSP Information....
➥ The LSP Browser appears.
2 Click Export to export the LSP configuration for all LSPs to a file.
➥ The Output File Name dialog box appears.
3 Specify a name for the file.
4 Click OK to perform the export.
➥ The file is saved in the primary models directory.
5 Click Cancel to close the LSP Browser.
End of Procedure 6-7
The exported file contains the attribute settings of all LSPs in the network. You
can use the file as is in other scenarios, or you can modify the file to add,
remove, or change LSPs. Notice that the LSP configuration file closely
resembles the Path Details table for each LSP.
Procedure 6-8 Using an LSP Configuration File in a Scenario
1 Open the MPLS Configuration object’s Attributes dialog box.
2 Select the LSP configuration file you wish to import from the LSP Specification File
pull-down menu.
3 Click OK to close the Attributes dialog box.
➥ The LSPs are added to the scenario. By default, LSPs from files are not
displayed in the network. To display these LSPs, open the LSP browser and set
their Display attributes to Yes.
End of Procedure 6-8
If you are using an LSP configuration file in your network, any changes to LSPs
that you make in the LSP browser are subsequently written to the configuration
file when you click OK to close the browser.
