Hi "strict" is only useful in case you want to cease vpls service when all lsps matching .*-SILVER.* are down. Default behavior (without "strict" keyword) with empty(or down) install-nexthop match is to ignore term.
Since the aim is to route over "single lsp" why regex-lsp is used? Why not "install-nexthop lsp *lsp-name".* * * Best Regards, Krasi On Fri, Nov 30, 2012 at 8:59 PM, Christian <cdebalo...@neotelecoms.com>wrote: > Hello, > Any luck with the "strict" option at the install-nexthop ? > Rgds, > > Christian > > Le 30/11/2012 17:41, Richard A Steenbergen a écrit : > > Does anybody have any experience with forced LSP path selection for VPLS >> circuits?
