Objective: To configure the MPLS-Traffic Engineering (TE) between two Cisco MPLS edge routers
LER PE1 and LER PE2 as per the topology given below.
Introduction:
TE is employed to steer some of the traffic destined to follow the optimal path to a
suboptimal path to enable better bandwidth management and utilization between a pair of routers.
TE maps flows between two routers appropriately to enable efficient use of already available
bandwidth in the core of the network.
The key to implementing a scalable and efficient TE methodology in the core of the network
is to gather information on the traffic patterns as they traverse the core of the network so that
bandwidth guarantees can be established.
TE tunnels, Tunnel1 and Tunnel2, can be configured on PE1-AS1 that can map to separate
paths (PATH1, PATH2), enabling efficient bandwidth utilization.
Typical MPLS Network:
TE tunnels configured on routers are unidirectional. Therefore, to implement bidirectional TE
deployment between routers PE1-AS1 and PE2-AS1 a pair of tunnels must also be configured on
PE2-AS1 in addition to Tunnel1 and Tunnel2 configured on PE1-AS1.
In an MPLS network, all pertinent tunnel configurations are always performed or provider
edge (PE) routers. The TE tunnels or LSPs will be used to link the edge routers across the core of
the service provider network.
The MPLS TE can be configured by two methods
1. Static –Explicit paths

2. Dynamic – Implicit paths
Prerequisites: The MPLS network should be configured with appropriate IP addresses on the
interfaces as well as OSPF Routing as Interior Gateway Protocol, and MPLS forwarding has to be
enabled on all interfaces.
Steps for Configuration of MPLS-TE:
1. Configure Loopback Interface for Tunnel Association: This IP address can be used as the
router ID for various process
2. Configure Router Globally and appropriate interface for TE support:
3. Configure RSVP bandwidth parameters per interface.
4. Configuring tunnel interface parameters on the head end router.
5. Configuring dynamic tunnel announcement into IGP/Explicit-path tunnel
6. Announcing tunnel interface into IGP
7. Enabling IGP for MPLS-TE
Deploying the MPLS-TE Configuration on the given Network Diagram.
