Appendix A. MPLS TE Command Index

We thought it would be nice to have a complete list of MPLS TE commands in one place. This is our stab at it. A command list is a tricky thing to build; the list of available commands varies with the Cisco IOS Software train and code version you're using. And by the time you take this book off the shelf, it will already be five months or more out of date; such is the nature of the beast. But this appendix gives you a good grip on most of what's out there. It also gives you a feel for where new commands are likely to crop up.

This appendix is divided into the following sections:

• show commands

• EXEC commands

• Global configuration commands

• Physical interface configuration commands

• Tunnel interface configuration commands

• IGP configuration commands

• RSVP commands

• debug commands

• Explicit path configuration

Each command is listed with any modifiers it takes, the defaults for those modifiers (for configuration commands), and a one-line description of what the command does for you.

MPLS TE commands are fairly hierarchical—more so than most Cisco IOS Software commands. This makes for a lot of typing, but it also makes it extremely easy for you to add commands later and have a logical place to put them.

The conventions used to present command syntax in this book are the same conventions used in the Cisco IOS Software Command Reference. The Command Reference describes these conventions as follows:

• Vertical bars (|) separate alternative, mutually exclusive elements.

• Square brackets ([ ]) indicate an optional element.

• Braces ({ }) indicate a required choice.

• Braces within brackets ([{ }]) indicate a required choice within an optional element.

• Boldface indicates commands and keywords that are entered literally as shown. In configuration examples and output (not general command syntax), boldface indicates commands that are manually input by the user (such as a show command).

• Italic indicates arguments for which you supply actual values.

As always, the best way to get a completely accurate list of what commands are available is to load an image onto a router and use the ? key to walk yourself through the command-line interface (CLI). Of course, not all debugs are suitable for use on a production network. Make sure you have a grip on what kind and level of output the debugs will give you before you use them for the first time on a production network. The command list in this appendix was generated from a prerelease version of Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0(22)S; your mileage, as always, might vary.
