GNS3 Cisco Lab : SRTE(Segment Routing Traffic Engineering) WECMP(weighted ECMP) configuration on Cisco IOS-XR and IOS-XE routers.

This is a quick nugget kind of blog where we will see the configuration and working of the SRTE WECMP on IOS-XR device. We know how ECMP works basically if we have multiple paths available then we will use those paths to load balance the traffic and this is done in SRTE by default. With… Read More GNS3 Cisco Lab : SRTE(Segment Routing Traffic Engineering) WECMP(weighted ECMP) configuration on Cisco IOS-XR and IOS-XE routers.

ISIS Metric types. Experimenting with wide and narrow metrics.

Narrow Metric: We all know that by default the metric value for the ISIS route is 10 and it keeps on adding 10 on crossing every single link. For example, if the prefix has reached the router by crossing three links them the metric value associated with the prefix should be 40. See below example… Read More ISIS Metric types.

Cisco Dynamic MPLS Traffic Engineering Tunnels (Auto-Tunnels)

Configuring static MPLS TE tunnels can be a highly unmanageable task if the number of PE grows. On top of that, you also need to manage FRR backup tunnels, which is only going to add complexity. Take an example of the ISP that has 100 PE routers deployed. For 100 PE routers, if you need… Read More Cisco Dynamic MPLS Traffic Engineering Tunnels (Auto-Tunnels)
