This chapter describes the level of support that Cisco ANA provides for MPLS-TE, as follows:

•Inventory and Information Model Objects (IMOs)

•Network Topology

•Service Alarms

Inventory and Information Model Objects (IMOs)

This section includes the following tables:

•MPLS TE Tunnel Interface (IMplsTETunnel)

•MPLS TE Properties (IMplsTEProperties)

•MPLS TE Allocation Entry (IMplsTEPropertiesAllocationEntry)

•MPLS TE Tunnel Segment (IMplsTESegment)

MPLS TE Tunnel Interface

The following Network/Data Link layer MPLS TE Tunnel Interface object, is bound by its Containing Termination Points attribute to a Data Link Layer Interface object, and is primarily being accessed by Network layer IP Interface bound by its Contained Connection Termination Points attribute. It is also being accessed by Label Switching Entity.

Attribute Name	Attribute Description
Destination Address	Destination IP address
Outgoing Interface and Label	Outgoing interface and label
Path Identification	Label Switching Path (LSP) identification
Requested Bandwidth	Requested bandwidth
Measured Average, Burst and Peak Bandwidth	Measured average, burst and peak bandwidth
Setup and Hold Priority	Setup and hold priority of the tunnel
Affinity Bits and Mask	Required traffic engineering affinity bits and mask attributes of the tunnel's links
Automatic Route Announcement Status	Automatic route announcement status (Enable, Disable)
Optimization Lock Down Status	Label switching path optimization lock down status (Enable, Disable)
Path Option	Label switching path option (Explicit, Dynamic)

MPLS TE Properties

The following MPLS TE Properties with its MPLS TE Allocation Entry objects describes the traffic engineering properties of a MPLS Interface, which is bound to by its traffic engineering properties attribute.

Table 13-2 MPLS TE Properties (IMplsTEProperties)

Attribute Name	Attribute Description
Priority Level	Allocation priority level (0-7)
Allocated and Cumulative Bandwidth	Allocated and cumulative bandwidth at and up this priority level

MPLS TE Tunnel Segment

The following MPLS TE Tunnel Segment object describes, as the name implies, the properties of a single segment of an MPLS TE Tunnel, which is being used by the Graphical User Interface [GUI] of the management application for visualizing the MPLS TE Tunnels network and has no effect on the Virtual Network Element [VNE] logic implementation. The segments are aggregated in MPLS TE Tunnel Segments table of the Label Switching Entity.

Table 13-4 MPLS TE Tunnel Segment (IMplsTESegment)

Attribute Name	Attribute Description
Source and Destination Addresses	Source and destination IP addresses of the tunnel
Incoming Interface and Label	Incoming interface and label (if not head segment)
Outgoing Interface and Label	Outgoing interface and label (if not tail segment)
Segment Type	Segment type (Head, Intermediate, Tail)
Measured Average, Burst and Peak Bandwidth	Measured average, burst and peak bandwidth
Path Identification	Label Switching Path (LSP) identification
Name	Segment name

Network Topology

The discovery of Multi Protocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering [MPLS-TE] Network layer topology is unsupported.

Service Alarms

The following alarms are supported for this technology:

•MPLS TE Tunnel Down/MPLS TE Tunnel Up

•MPLS TE Tunnel Flapping/MPLS TE Tunnel Up or Down

These alarms are disabled by default.
