This module provides information about segment routing for traffic engineering (SR-TE) policies, how to configure SR-TE policies,
and how to steer traffic into an SR-TE policy.
SR-TE Policy Overview
Segment routing for traffic engineering (SR-TE) uses a “policy” to steer traffic through the network. An SR-TE policy path
is expressed as a list of segments that specifies the path, called a segment ID (SID) list. Each segment is an end-to-end
path from the source to the destination, and instructs the routers in the network to follow the specified path instead of
following the shortest path calculated by the IGP. If a packet is steered into an SR-TE policy, the SID list is pushed on
the packet by the head-end. The rest of the network executes the instructions embedded in the SID list.
An SR-TE policy is identified as an ordered list (head-end, color, end-point):
Head-end – Where the SR-TE policy is instantiated
Color – A numerical value that distinguishes between two or more policies to the same node pairs (Head-end – End point)
End-point – The destination of the SR-TE policy
Every SR-TE policy has a color value. Every policy between the same node pairs requires a unique color value.
An SR-TE policy uses one or more candidate paths. A candidate path is a single segment list (SID-list) or a set of weighted
SID-lists (for weighted equal cost multi-path [WECMP]). A candidate path is either dynamic or explicit. See SR-TE Policy Path Types section for more information.
Usage Guidelines and Limitations
Observe the following guidelines and limitations for the platform.
Before configuring SR-TE policies, use the distribute link-state command under IS-IS or OSPF to distribute the link-state database to external services.
SR-TE over BVI is not supported. An SR-TE policy cannot be resolved over an MPLS-enabled BVI interface.
For NCS 5500:Counter implications when BVI and SR-TE co-exist in same NPU—Counters for a BVI's logical interface are not allocated when
the same NPU hosts layer-2 (sub)interface(s) associated with the BVI alongside other port(s) used as egress interface(s) for
an SR policy
GRE tunnel as primary interface for an SR policy is not supported.
GRE tunnel as backup interface for an SR policy with TI-LFA protection is not supported.
Head-end computed inter-domain SR policy with Flex Algo constraint and IGP redistribution is not supported.
Instantiation of an SR Policy
An SR policy is instantiated, or implemented, at the head-end router.
The following sections provide details on the SR policy instantiation methods:
Segment Routing On-Demand Next Hop (SR-ODN) allows a service head-end router to automatically instantiate an SR policy to
a BGP next-hop when required (on-demand). Its key benefits include:
SLA-aware BGP service – Provides per-destination steering behaviors where a prefix, a set of prefixes, or all prefixes from a service can be associated
with a desired underlay SLA. The functionality applies equally to single-domain and multi-domain networks.
Simplicity – No prior SR Policy configuration needs to be configured and maintained. Instead, operator simply configures a small set
of common intent-based optimization templates throughout the network.
Scalability – Device resources at the head-end router are used only when required, based on service or SLA connectivity needs.
The following example shows how SR-ODN works:
An egress PE (node H) advertises a BGP route for prefix T/t. This advertisement includes an SLA intent encoded with a BGP
color extended community. In this example, the operator assigns color purple (example value = 100) to prefixes that should
traverse the network over the delay-optimized path.
The route reflector receives the advertised route and advertises it to other PE nodes.
Ingress PEs in the network (such as node F) are pre-configured with an ODN template for color purple that provides the node
with the steps to follow in case a route with the intended color appears, for example:
Contact SR-PCE and request computation for a path toward node H that does not share any nodes with another LSP in the same
disjointness group.
At the head-end router, compute a path towards node H that minimizes cumulative delay.
In this example, the head-end router contacts the SR-PCE and requests computation for a path toward node H that minimizes
cumulative delay.
After SR-PCE provides the compute path, an intent-driven SR policy is instantiated at the head-end router. Other prefixes
with the same intent (color) and destined to the same egress PE can share the same on-demand SR policy. When the last prefix
associated with a given [intent, egress PE] pair is withdrawn, the on-demand SR policy is deleted, and resources are freed
from the head-end router.
An on-demand SR policy is created dynamically for BGP global or VPN (service) routes. The following services are supported
with SR-ODN:
IPv4 BGP global routes
IPv6 BGP global routes (6PE)
VPNv4
VPNv6 (6vPE)
EVPN-VPWS (single-homing)
SR-ODN Configuration Steps
To configure SR-ODN, complete the following configurations:
Define the SR-ODN template on the SR-TE head-end router.
(Optional) If using Segment Routing Path Computation Element (SR-PCE) for path computation:
Configure SR-PCE. For detailed SR-PCE configuration information, see Configure SR-PCE.
Configure the head-end router as Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) Path Computation Client (PCC). For detailed PCEP
PCC configuration information, see Configure the Head-End Router as PCEP PCC.
The following RPL attach-points for setting/matching BGP color extended communities are supported:
Note
The following table shows the supported RPL match operations; however, routing policies are required primarily to set BGP
color extended community. Matching based on BGP color extended communities is performed automatically by ODN's on-demand color
template.
Use the on-demand colorcolor command to create an ODN template for the specified color value. The head-end router automatically follows the actions defined
in the template upon arrival of BGP global or VPN routes with a BGP color extended community that matches the color value
specified in the template.
The color range is from 1 to 4294967295.
Router(config)# segment-routing traffic-eng
Router(config-sr-te)# on-demand color 10
Note
Matching based on BGP color extended communities is performed automatically via ODN's on-demand color template. RPL routing
policies are not required.
Use the on-demand colorcolordynamic command to associate the template with on-demand SR policies with a locally computed dynamic path (by SR-TE head-end router
utilizing its TE topology database) or centrally (by SR-PCE). The head-end router will first attempt to install the locally
computed path; otherwise, it will use the path computed by the SR-PCE.
Router(config)# segment-routing traffic-eng
Router(config-sr-te)# on-demand color 10dynamic
Use the on-demand colorcolordynamic pcep command to indicate that only the path computed by SR-PCE should be associated with the on-demand SR policy. With this configuration,
local path computation is not attempted; instead the head-end router will only instantiate the path computed by the SR-PCE.
Router(config-sr-te)# on-demand color 10dynamic pcep
Configure Dynamic Path Optimization Objectives
Use the metric type {igp | te | latency} command to configure the metric for use in path computation.
Router(config-sr-te-color-dyn)# metric type te
Use the metric margin {absolutevalue| relativepercent} command to configure the On-Demand dynamic path metric margin. The range for value and percent is from 0 to 2147483647.
Use the disjoint-path group-idgroup-idtype {link | node | srlg | srlg-node} [sub-idsub-id] command to configure the disjoint-path constraints. The group-id and sub-id range is from 1 to 65535.
Router(config-sr-te-color-dyn)# disjoint-path group-id 775 type link
Use the affinity {include-any | include-all | exclude-any} {nameWORD} command to configure the affinity constraints.
Router(config-sr-te-color-dyn)# affinity exclude-any name CROSS
Use the maximum-sid-depthvalue command to customize the maximum SID depth (MSD) constraints advertised by the router.
The default MSD value is equal to the maximum MSD supported by the platform (12).
Use the sid-algorithmalgorithm-number command to configure the SR Flexible Algorithm constraints. The algorithm-number range is from 128 to 255.
Router(config-sr-te-color-dyn)# sid-algorithm 128
Configuring SR-ODN: Examples

color 10: minimization objective = te-metric
color 20: minimization objective = igp-metric
color 21: minimization objective = igp-metric; constraints = affinity
color 22: minimization objective = te-metric; path computation at SR-PCE; constraints = affinity

Configuring BGP Color Extended Community Set: Example
The following example shows how to configure BGP color extended communities that are later applied to BGP service routes via
route-policies.
Note
In most common scenarios, egress PE routers that advertise BGP service routes apply (set) BGP color extended communities.
However, color can also be set at the ingress PE router.
Configuring RPL to Set BGP Color (Layer-3 Services): Examples
The following example shows various representative RPL definitions that set BGP color community.
The first 4 RPL examples include the set color action only. The last RPL example performs the set color action for selected destinations based on a prefix-set.

Applying RPL to BGP Services (Layer-3 Services): Example
The following example shows various RPLs that set BGP color community being applied to BGP Layer-3 VPN services (VPNv4/VPNv6)
and BGP global.
The L3VPN examples show the RPL applied at the VRF export attach-point.
The BGP global example shows the RPL applied at the BGP neighbor-out attach-point.
Use the show bgp vrf command to display BGP prefix information for VRF instances. The following output shows the BGP VRF table including a prefix
(88.1.1.0/24) with color 10 advertised by router 10.1.1.8.

The following outputs show the details of the on-demand SR policy for BSID 24036.
Note
There are 2 candidate paths associated with this SR policy: the path that is computed by the head-end router (with preference
200), and the path that is computed by the SR-PCE (with preference 100). The candidate path with the highest preference is
the active candidate path (highlighted below) and is installed in forwarding.
This use case shows how to set up a pair of ELINE services using EVPN-VPWS between two sites. Services are carried over SR
policies that must not share any common links along their paths (link-disjoint). The SR policies are triggered on-demand based
on ODN principles. An SR-PCE computes the disjoint paths.
This use case uses the following topology with 2 sites: Site 1 with nodes A and B, and Site 2 with nodes C and D.

ODN BGP Color Extended Communities
Site 1 routers (Nodes A and B):
set color 10000
match color 11000
Site 2 routers (Nodes C and D):
set color 11000
match color 10000
Note
These colors are associated with the EVPN route-type 1 routes of the EVPN-VPWS services.
PCEP LSP Disjoint-Path Association Group ID
Site 1 to Site 2 LSPs (from Node A to Node C/from Node B to Node D):
group-id = 775
Site 2 to Site 1 LSPs (from Node C to Node A/from Node D to Node B):
group-id = 776
The use case provides configuration and verification outputs for all devices.
For cases when PCC nodes support, or signal, PCEP association-group object to indicate the pair of LSPs in a disjoint set,
there is no extra configuration required at the SR-PCE to trigger disjoint-path computation.
Note
SR-PCE also supports disjoint-path computation for cases when PCC nodes do not support PCEP association-group object. See
Configure the Disjoint Policy (Optional) for more information.
Configuration: Site 1 Node A
This section depicts relevant configuration of Node A at Site 1. It includes service configuration, BGP color extended community,
and RPL. It also includes the corresponding ODN template required to achieve the disjointness SLA.
Nodes in Site 1 are configured to set color 10000 on originating EVPN routes, while matching color 11000 on incoming EVPN
routes from routers located at Site 2.
Since both nodes in Site 1 request path computation from SR-PCE using the same disjoint-path group-id (775), the PCE will
attempt to compute disjointness for the pair of LSPs originating from Site 1 toward Site 2.

Verification: SR-PCE
Use the show pce ipv4 peer command to display the SR-PCE’s PCEP peers and session status. SR-PCE performs path computation for the 4 nodes depicted
in the use-case.

Use the show pce association group-id command to display information for the pair of LSPs assigned to a given association group-id value.
Based on the goals of this use case, SR-PCE computes link-disjoint paths for the SR policies associated with a pair of ELINE
services between site 1 and site 2. In particular, disjoint LSPs from site 1 to site 2 are identified by association group-id
775. The output includes high-level information for LSPs associated to this group-id:
At Node A (10.1.1.5): LSP symbolic name = bgp_c_11000_ep_10.1.1.2_discr_100
At Node B (10.1.1.6): LSP symbolic name = bgp_c_11000_ep_10.1.1.4_discr_100
In this case, the SR-PCE was able to achieve the desired disjointness level; therefore the Status is shown as "Satisfied".

Use the show pce lsp command to display detailed information of an LSP present in the PCE's LSP database. This output shows details for the LSP
at Node A (10.1.1.5) that is used to carry traffic of EVPN VPWS EVI 100 towards node C (10.1.1.2).
Based on the goals of this use case, SR-PCE computes link-disjoint paths for the SR policies associated with a pair of ELINE
services between site 1 and site 2. In particular, disjoint LSPs from site 2 to site 1 are identified by association group-id
776. The output includes high-level information for LSPs associated to this group-id:
At Node C (10.1.1.2): LSP symbolic name = bgp_c_10000_ep_10.1.1.5_discr_100
At Node D (10.1.1.4): LSP symbolic name = bgp_c_10000_ep_10.1.1.6_discr_100
In this case, the SR-PCE was able to achieve the desired disjointness level; therefore, the Status is shown as "Satisfied".

The following output shows the details for the on-demand SR policy. Note that the SR policy's active candidate path (preference
100) is computed by SR-PCE (10.1.1.207).
Based on the goals of this use case, SR-PCE computes link-disjoint paths for the SR policies associated with a pair of ELINE
services between site 1 and site 2. Specifically, from site 2 to site 1, LSP at Node D (srte_c_10000_ep_10.1.1.6) is link-disjoint
from LSP at Node C (srte_c_10000_ep_10.1.1.5).
Manually provisioned SR policies are configured on the head-end router. These policies can use dynamic paths or explicit paths.
See the SR-TE Policy Path Types section for information on manually provisioning an SR policy using dynamic or explicit paths.
PCE-Initiated SR Policy
An SR-TE policy can be configured on the path computation element (PCE) to reduce link congestion or to minimize the number
of network touch points.
The PCE collects network information, such as traffic demand and link utilization. When the PCE determines that a link is
congested, it identifies one or more flows that are causing the congestion. The PCE finds a suitable path and deploys an SR-TE
policy to divert those flows, without moving the congestion to another part of the network. When there is no more link congestion,
the policy is removed.
To minimize the number of network touch points, an application, such as a Network Services Orchestrator (NSO), can request
the PCE to create an SR-TE policy. PCE deploys the SR-TE policy using PCC-PCE communication protocol (PCEP).
A dynamic path is based on an optimization objective and a set of constraints. The head-end computes a solution, resulting in a SID-list
or a set of SID-lists. When the topology changes, a new path is computed. If the head-end does not have enough information
about the topology, the head-end might delegate the computation to a Segment Routing Path Computation Element (SR-PCE). For
information on configuring SR-PCE, see Configure Segment Routing Path Computation Element chapter.
An explicit path is a specified SID-list or set of SID-lists.
An SR-TE policy initiates a single (selected) path in RIB/FIB. This is the preferred valid candidate path.
A candidate path has the following characteristics:
It has a preference – If two policies have same {color, endpoint} but different preferences, the policy with the highest preference
is selected.
It is associated with a single binding SID (BSID) – A BSID conflict occurs when there are different SR policies with the same
BSID. In this case, the policy that is installed first gets the BSID and is selected.
It is valid if it is usable.
A path is selected when the path is valid and its preference is the best among all candidate paths for that policy.
Note
The protocol of the source is not relevant in the path selection logic.
Dynamic Paths
Optimization Objectives
Optimization objectives allow the head-end router to compute a SID-list that expresses the shortest dynamic path according
to the selected metric type:
IGP metric — Refer to the "Implementing IS-IS" and "Implementing OSPF" chapters in the Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 5500 Series Routers.
Constraints allow the head-end router to compute a dynamic path according to the selected metric type:
Affinity — You can apply a color or name to links or interfaces by assigning affinity bit-maps to them. You can then specify
an affinity (or relationship) between an SR policy path and link colors. SR-TE computes a path that includes or excludes links
that have specific colors,or combinations of colors. See the Named Interface Link Admin Groups and SR-TE Affinity Maps section for information on named interface link admin groups and SR-TE Affinity Maps.
Disjoint — SR-TE computes a path that is disjoint from another path in the same disjoint-group. Disjoint paths do not share
network resources. Path disjointness may be required for paths between the same pair of nodes, between different pairs of
nodes, or a combination (only same head-end or only same end-point).
Flexible Algorithm — Flexible Algorithm allows for user-defined algorithms where the IGP computes paths based on a user-defined
combination of metric type and constraint.
Named Interface Link Admin Groups and SR-TE Affinity Maps
Named Interface Link Admin Groups and SR-TE Affinity Maps provide a simplified and more flexible means of configuring link
attributes and path affinities to compute paths for SR-TE policies.
In the traditional TE scheme, links are configured with attribute-flags that are flooded with TE link-state parameters using
Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs), such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).
Named Interface Link Admin Groups and SR-TE Affinity Maps let you assign, or map, up to 256 color names for affinity and attribute-flag attributes instead of 32-bit
hexadecimal numbers. After mappings are defined, the attributes can be referred to by
the corresponding color name in the CLI. Furthermore, you can define constraints using
include-any, include-all, and exclude-any arguments, where each
statement can contain up to 10 colors.
Note
You can configure affinity constraints using attribute flags or the Flexible Name Based Policy Constraints scheme; however,
when configurations for both schemes exist, only the configuration pertaining to the new scheme is applied.
Configure Named Interface Link Admin Groups and SR-TE Affinity Maps
Use the affinity nameNAME command in SR-TE interface submode to assign affinity to interfaces. Configure this on routers with interfaces that have
an associated admin group attribute.
Router# configure
Router(config)# segment-routing
Router(config-sr)# traffic-eng
Router(config-sr-te)# interface TenGigE0/0/1/2
Router(config-sr-if)# affinity
Router(config-sr-if-affinity)# name RED
Use the affinity-map nameNAMEbit-positionbit-position command in SR-TE sub-mode to define affinity maps. The bit-position range is from 0 to 255.
Configure affinity maps on the following routers:
Routers with interfaces that have an associated admin group attribute.
Routers that act as SR-TE head-ends for SR policies that include affinity constraints.
The following example shows how to assign affinity to interfaces and to define affinity maps. This configuration is applicable
to any router (SR-TE head-end or transit node) with colored interfaces.

Anycast SID-Aware Path Computation
This feature allows the SR-TE head-end or SR-PCE to compute a path that is encoded using Anycast prefix SIDs of nodes along
the path.
An Anycast SID is a type of prefix SID that identifies a set of nodes and is configured with n-flag clear. The set of nodes
(Anycast group) is configured to advertise a shared prefix address and prefix SID. Anycast routing enables the steering of
traffic toward multiple advertising nodes, providing load-balancing and redundancy. Packets addressed to an Anycast address
are forwarded to the topologically nearest nodes.
For more information about this feature, see the Anycast SID-Aware Path Computation topic in the Configure Segment Routing Path Computation Element chapter.
To configure an SR-TE policy with an explicit path, complete the following configurations:
Create the segment lists. A segment list can use IP addresses or MPLS labels, or a combination of both.
Create the SR-TE policy.
Behaviors and Limitations
A segment of an explicit segment list can be configured as IPv4 addresses representing a node or a link, or MPLS labels, or
a combination of addresses and labels.
A segment can be link or a Loopback address.
Once you enter an MPLS label, you cannot enter an IP address.
When configuring an explicit path using IP addresses of links along the path, the SR-TE process selects either the protected
or the unprotected Adj-SID of the link, depending on the order in which the Adj-SIDs were received.

Protocols
Path Computation Element Protocol
The path computation element protocol (PCEP) describes a set of procedures by which a path computation client (PCC) can report
and delegate control of head-end label switched paths (LSPs) sourced from the PCC to a PCE peer. The PCE can request the PCC
to update and modify parameters of LSPs it controls. The stateful model also enables a PCC to allow the PCE to initiate computations
allowing the PCE to perform network-wide orchestration.
Configure the Head-End Router as PCEP PCC
Configure the head-end router as PCEP Path Computation Client (PCC) to establish a connection to the PCE. The PCC and PCE
addresses must be routable so that TCP connection (to exchange PCEP messages) can be established between PCC and PCE.
Configure the PCC to Establish a Connection to the PCE
Use the segment-routing traffic-eng pcc command to configure the PCC source address, the SR-PCE address, and SR-PCE options.
A PCE can be given an optional precedence. If a PCC is connected to multiple PCEs, the PCC selects a PCE with the lowest precedence
value. If there is a tie, a PCE with the highest IP address is chosen for computing path. The precedence value range is from 0 to 255.
Use the timers keepalive command to specify how often keepalive messages are sent from PCC to its peers. The range is from 0 to 255 seconds; the default
value is 30.
Router(config-sr-te-pcc)# timers keepaliveseconds
Use the timers deadtimer command to specify how long the remote peers wait before bringing down the PCEP session if no PCEP messages are received
from this PCC. The range is from 1 to 255 seconds; the default value is 120.
Router(config-sr-te-pcc)# timers deadtimerseconds
Use the timers delegation-timeout command to specify how long a delegated SR policy can remain up without an active connection to a PCE. The range is from
0 to 3600 seconds; the default value is 60.
Use the timers initiated orphans command to specify the amount of time that a PCE-initiated SR policy will remain delegated to a PCE peer that is no longer
reachable by the PCC. The range is from 10 to 180 seconds; the default value is 180.
Use the timers initiated state command to specify the amount of time that a PCE-initiated SR policy will remain programmed while not being delegated to
any PCE. The range is from 15 to 14440 seconds (24 hours); the default value is 600.
To better understand how the PCE-initiated SR policy timers operate, consider the following example:
PCE A instantiates SR policy P at head-end N.
Head-end N delegates SR policy P to PCE A and programs it in forwarding.
If head-end N detects that PCE A is no longer reachable, then head-end N starts the PCE-initiated orphan and state timers for SR policy P.
If PCE A reconnects before the orphan timer expires, then SR policy P is automatically delegated back to its original PCE (PCE A).
After the orphan timer expires, SR policy P will be eligible for delegation to any other surviving PCE(s).
If SR policy P is not delegated to another PCE before the state timer expires, then head-end N will remove SR policy P from its forwarding.
Enable SR-TE SYSLOG Alarms
Use the logging policy status command to enable SR-TE related SYSLOG alarms.
Router(config-sr-te)# logging policy status
Enable PCEP Reports to SR-PCE
Use the report-all command to enable the PCC to report all SR policies in its database to the PCE.
Router(config-sr-te-pcc)# report-all
Customize MSD Value at PCC
Use the maximum-sid-depthvalue command to customize the Maximum SID Depth (MSD) signaled by PCC during PCEP session establishment.
The default MSD value is equal to the maximum MSD supported by the platform (12).
Router(config-sr-te)# maximum-sid-depthvalue
Note
The platform's SR-TE label imposition capabilities are as follows:
Up to 12 transport labels when no service labels are imposed
Up to 9 transport labels when service labels are imposed
For cases with path computation at PCE, a PCC can signal its MSD to the PCE in the following ways:
During PCEP session establishment – The signaled MSD is treated as a node-wide property.
MSD is configured under segment-routing traffic-eng maximum-sid-depthvalue command
During PCEP LSP path request – The signaled MSD is treated as an LSP property.
On-demand (ODN) SR Policy: MSD is configured using the segment-routing traffic-eng on-demand colorcolormaximum-sid-depthvalue command
Local SR Policy: MSD is configured using the segment-routing traffic-eng policyWORDcandidate-paths preferencepreferencedynamic metric sid-limitvalue command.
Note
If the configured MSD values are different, the per-LSP MSD takes precedence over the per-node MSD.
After path computation, the resulting label stack size is verified against the MSD requirement.
If the label stack size is larger than the MSD and path computation is performed by PCE, then the PCE returns a "no path"
response to the PCC.
If the label stack size is larger than the MSD and path computation is performed by PCC, then the PCC will not install the
path.
Note
A sub-optimal path (if one exists) that satisfies the MSD constraint could be computed in the following cases:
For a dynamic path with TE metric, when the PCE is configured with the pce segment-routing te-latency command or the PCC is configured with the segment-routing traffic-eng te-latency command.
For a dynamic path with LATENCY metric
For a dynamic path with affinity constraints
For example, if the PCC MSD is 4 and the optimal path (with an accumulated metric of 100) requires 5 labels, but a sub-optimal
path exists (with accumulated metric of 110) requiring 4 labels, then the sub-optimal path is installed.
Customize the SR-TE Path Calculation
Use the te-latency command to enable ECMP-aware path computation for TE metric.
Router(config-sr-te)# te-latency
Note
ECMP-aware path computation is enabled by default for IGP and LATENCY metrics.
Configure PCEP Redundancy Type
Use the redundancy pcc-centric command to enable PCC-centric high-availability model. The PCC-centric model changes the default PCC delegation behavior
to the following:
After LSP creation, LSP is automatically delegated to the PCE that computed it.
If this PCE is disconnected, then the LSP is redelegated to another PCE.
If the original PCE is reconnected, then the delegation fallback timer is started. When the timer expires, the LSP is redelegated
back to the original PCE, even if it has worse preference than the current PCE.
Router(config-sr-te-pcc)# redundancy pcc-centric
Configuring Head-End Router as PCEP PCC and Customizing SR-TE Related Options: Example
The following example shows how to configure an SR-TE head-end router with the following functionality:
Enable the SR-TE head-end router as a PCEP client (PCC) with 3 PCEP servers (PCE) with different precedence values. The PCE
with IP address 10.1.1.57 is selected as BEST.
Enable SR-TE related syslogs.
Set the Maximum SID Depth (MSD) signaled during PCEP session establishment to 5.
Enable PCEP reporting for all policies in the node.

BGP SR-TE
BGP may be used to distribute SR Policy candidate paths to an SR-TE head-end. Dedicated BGP SAFI and NLRI have been defined
to advertise a candidate path of an SR Policy. The advertisement of Segment Routing policies in BGP is documented in the IETF
drafthttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy/
SR policies with IPv4 and IPv6 end-points can be advertised over BGPv4 or BGPv6 sessions between the SR-TE controller and
the SR-TE headend.
The Cisco IOS-XR implementation supports the following combinations:
IPv4 SR policy advertised over BGPv4 session
IPv6 SR policy advertised over BGPv4 session
IPv6 SR policy advertised over BGPv6 session

Example: BGP SR-TE with BGPv6 Neighbor to BGP SR-TE Controller
The following configuration shows an SR-TE head-end with a BGPv6 session towards a
BGP SR-TE controller. This BGP session is used to signal IPv6 SR policies.
Automated steering (AS) allows service traffic to be automatically steered onto the required transport SLA path programmed
by an SR policy.
With AS, BGP automatically steers traffic onto an SR Policy based on the next-hop and color of a BGP service route. The color
of a BGP service route is specified by a color extended community attribute. This color is used as a transport SLA indicator,
such as min-delay or min-cost.
When the next-hop and color of a BGP service route matches the end-point and color of an SR Policy, BGP automatically installs
the route resolving onto the BSID of the matching SR Policy. Recall that an SR Policy on a head-end is uniquely identified
by an end-point and color.
When a BGP route has multiple extended-color communities, each with a valid SR Policy, the BGP process installs the route
on the SR Policy giving preference to the color with the highest numerical value.
The granularity of AS behaviors can be applied at multiple levels, for example:
At a service level—When traffic destined to all prefixes in a given service is associated to the same transport path type.
All prefixes share the same color.
At a destination/prefix level—When traffic destined to a prefix in a given service is associated to a specific transport path
type. Each prefix could be assigned a different color.
At a flow level—When flows destined to the same prefix are associated with different transport path types
AS behaviors apply regardless of the instantiation method of the SR policy, including:
Color-only steering is a traffic steering mechanism where a policy is created with given color, regardless of the endpoint.
You can create an SR-TE policy for a specific color that uses a NULL end-point (0.0.0.0 for IPv4 NULL, and ::0 for IPv6 NULL
end-point). This means that you can have a single policy that can steer traffic that is based on that color and a NULL endpoint
for routes with a particular color extended community, but different destinations (next-hop).
Note
Every SR-TE policy with a NULL end-point must have an explicit path-option. The policy cannot have a dynamic path-option (where
the path is computed by the head-end or PCE) since there is no destination for the policy.
You can also specify a color-only (CO) flag in the color extended community for overlay routes. The CO flag allows the selection
of an SR-policy with a matching color, regardless of endpoint Sub-address Family Identifier (SAFI) (IPv4 or IPv6). See Setting CO Flag.

end
Setting CO Flag
The BGP-based steering mechanism matches BGP color and next-hop with that of an SR-TE policy. If the policy does not exist,
BGP requests SR-PCE to create an SR-TE policy with the associated color, end-point, and explicit paths. For color-only steering
(NULL end-point), you can configure a color-only (CO) flag as part of the color extended community in BGP.
The behavior of the steering mechanism is based on the following values of the CO flags:
co-flag 00
The BGP next-hop and color <N, C> is matched with an SR-TE policy of same <N, C>.
If a policy does not exist, then IGP path for the next-hop N is chosen.
co-flag 01
The BGP next-hop and color <N, C> is matched with an SR-TE policy of same <N, C>.
If a policy does not exist, then an SR-TE policy with NULL end-point with the same address-family as N and color C is chosen.
If a policy with NULL end-point with same address-family as N does not exist, then an SR-TE policy with any NULL end-point
and color C is chosen.
If no match is found, then IGP path for the next-hop N is chosen.

Address-Family Agnostic Automated Steering
Address-family agnostic steering uses an SR-TE policy to steer both labeled and unlabeled IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. This feature
requires support of IPv6 encapsulation (IPv6 caps) over IPV4 endpoint policy.
IPv6 caps for IPv4 NULL end-point is enabled automatically when the policy is created in Segment Routing Path Computation
Element (SR-PCE). The binding SID (BSID) state notification for each policy contains an "ipv6_caps" flag that notifies SR-PCE
clients (PCC) of the status of IPv6 caps (enabled or disabled).
An SR-TE policy with a given color and IPv4 NULL end-point could have more than one candidate path. If any of the candidate
paths has IPv6 caps enabled, then all of the remaining candidate paths need IPv6 caps enabled. If IPv6 caps is not enabled
on all candidate paths of same color and end-point, traffic drops can occur.
You can disable IPv6 caps for a particular color and IPv4 NULL end-point using the ipv6 disable command on the local policy. This command disables IPv6 caps on all candidate paths that share the same color and IPv4 NULL
end-point.
The binding segment is a local segment identifying an SR-TE policy. Each SR-TE policy is associated with a binding segment
ID (BSID). The BSID is a local label that is automatically allocated for each SR-TE policy when the SR-TE policy is instantiated.
Note
In
Cisco IOS XR 6.3.2 and later releases, you can specify an explicit BSID for an SR-TE
policy. See the following Explicit Binding SID section.
BSID can be used to steer traffic into the SR-TE policy and across domain borders, creating seamless end-to-end inter-domain
SR-TE policies. Each domain controls its local SR-TE policies; local SR-TE policies can be validated and rerouted if needed,
independent from the remote domain’s head-end. Using binding segments isolates the head-end from topology changes in the remote
domain.
Packets received with a BSID as top label are steered into the SR-TE policy associated with the BSID. When the BSID label
is popped, the SR-TE policy’s SID list is pushed.
BSID can be used in the following cases:
Multi-Domain (inter-domain, inter-autonomous system)—BSIDs can be used to steer traffic across domain borders, creating seamless
end-to-end inter-domain SR-TE policies.
Large-Scale within a single domain—The head-end can use hierarchical SR-TE policies by nesting the end-to-end (edge-to-edge)
SR-TE policy within another layer of SR-TE policies (aggregation-to-aggregation). The SR-TE policies are nested within another
layer of policies using the BSIDs, resulting in seamless end-to-end SR-TE policies.
Label stack compression—If the label-stack size required for an SR-TE policy exceeds the platform capability, the SR-TE policy
can be seamlessly stitched to, or nested within, other SR-TE policies using a binding segment.
Explicit Binding SID
Use the binding-sid mplslabel command in SR-TE policy configuration mode to specify the explicit BSID. Explicit BSIDs are allocated from the segment routing
local block (SRLB) or the dynamic range of labels. A best-effort is made to request and obtain the BSID for the SR-TE policy.
If requested BSID is not available (if it does not fall within the available SRLB or is already used by another application
or SR-TE policy), the policy stays down.
Use the binding-sid explicit {fallback-dynamic | enforce-srlb} command to specify how the BSID allocation behaves if the BSID value is not available.
Fallback to dynamic allocation – If the BSID is not available, the BSID is allocated dynamically and the policy comes up:
This example shows how to configure an SR policy to use an explicit BSID of 1000. If the BSID is not available, the BSID is
allocated dynamically and the policy comes up.
Stitching SR-TE Polices Using Binding SID: Example
In this example, three SR-TE policies are stitched together to form a seamless end-to-end path from node 1 to node 10. The
path is a chain of SR-TE policies stitched together using the binding-SIDs of intermediate policies, providing a seamless
end-to-end path.

L2VPN Preferred Path
EVPN VPWS Preferred Path over SR-TE Policy feature allows you to set the preferred path between the two end-points for EVPN
VPWS pseudowire (PW) using SR-TE policy.
L2VPN VPLS or VPWS Preferred Path over SR-TE Policy feature allows you to set the preferred path between the two end-points
for L2VPN Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) or Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) using SR-TE policy.
This feature allows you to specify a Segment Routing (SR) policy as an interface type when configuring static routes for MPLS
data planes.
For information on configuring static routes, see the "Implementing Static Routes" chapter in the Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 5500 Series Routers.
Configuration Example
The following example depicts a configuration of a static route for an IPv4 destination over an SR policy according to following
parameters:
Target SR policy:
Color = 200
End-point = 10.1.1.4
Auto-generated SR policy name = srte_c_200_ep_10.1.1.4
Note
Use the auto-generated SR-TE policy name to attach the SR policy to the static route. Auto-generated SR policy names use the
following naming convention: srte_c_color_val_ep_endpoint-address.
Use the show segment-routing traffic-eng policy color <color_val> endpoint ipv4 <ip_addr> command to display the auto-generated
policy name.
Admin distance = 40
Load metric = 150

Miscellaneous
LDP over Segment Routing Policy
The LDP over Segment Routing Policy feature enables an LDP-targeted adjacency over a Segment Routing (SR) policy between two
routers. This feature extends the existing MPLS LDP address family neighbor configuration to specify an SR policy as the targeted
end-point.
LDP over SR policy is supported for locally configured SR policies with IPv4 end-points.
For more information about MPLS LDP, see the "Implementing MPLS Label Distribution Protocol" chapter in the MPLS Configuration Guide.
For more information about Autoroute, see the Autoroute Announce for SR-TE
section.
Note
Before you configure an LDP targeted adjacency over SR policy name, you need to create the SR policy under Segment Routing
configuration. The SR policy interface names are created internally based on the color and endpoint of the policy. LDP is
non-operational if SR policy name is unknown.
The following functionality applies:
Configure the SR policy – LDP receives the associated end-point address from the interface manager (IM) and stores it in the
LDP interface database (IDB) for the configured SR policy.
Configure the SR policy name under LDP – LDP retrieves the stored end-point address from the IDB and uses it. Use the auto-generated
SR policy name assigned by the router when creating an LDP targeted adjacency over an SR policy. Auto-generated SR policy
names use the following naming convention: srte_c_color_val_ep_endpoint-address. For example, srte_c_1000_ep_10.1.1.2

SR-TE MPLS Label Imposition Enhancement
The SR-TE MPLS Label Imposition Enhancement feature increases the maximum label imposition capabilities of the platform.
In previous releases, the platform supported:
Up to 5 MPLS transport labels when no MPLS service labels are imposed
Up to 3 MPLS transport labels when MPLS service labels are imposed
With the SR-TE MPLS Label Imposition Enhancement feature, the platform supports the following:
Up to 12 MPLS transport labels when no MPLS service labels are imposed
Up to 9 MPLS transport labels when MPLS service labels are imposed
This enhancement is enabled and disabled dynamically, as the label count changes. For example, if a path requires only 3 MPLS
transport labels, the MPLS Label Imposition Enhancement feature is not enabled.
You can disable labeled services for SR-TE policies. The label switching database (LSD) needs to know if labeled services
are disabled on top of an SR-TE policy to perform proper label stack splitting.
Disable Labeled Services per Local Policy
Use the labeled-services disable command to disable steering for labeled services for a configured policy. This configuration applies per policy.

Use the show segment-routing traffic-eng policy command to display SR policy information. The following output shows that steering of labeled services for the on-demand
SR policy are disabled.
This feature allows IPv4 unnumbered interfaces to be part of an SR-TE head-end router topology database.
An unnumbered IPv4 interface is not identified by its own unique IPv4 address. Instead, it is identified by the router ID
of the node where this interfaces resides and the local SNMP index assigned for this interface.
This feature provides enhancements to the following components:
IGPs (IS-IS and OSPF):
Support the IPv4 unnumbered interfaces in the SR-TE context by flooding the necessary interface information in the topology
SR-PCE:
Note
SR-PCE and path computation clients (PCCs) need to be running Cisco IOS XR 7.0.2 or later.
Compute and return paths from a topology containing IPv4 unnumbered interfaces.
Process reported SR policies from a head-end router that contain hops with IPv4 unnumbered adjacencies.
PCEP extensions for IPv4 unnumbered interfaces adhere to IETF RFC8664 “PCEP Extensions for Segment Routing” (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8664/). The unnumbered hops use a Node or Adjacency Identifier (NAI) of type 5. This indicates that the segment in the explicit
routing object (ERO) is an unnumbered adjacency with an IPv4 ID and an interface index.
SR-TE process at the head-end router:
Compute its own local path over a topology, including unnumbered interfaces.
Process PCE-computed paths that contain hops with IPv4 unnumbered interfaces.
Report a path that contains hops with IPv4 unnumbered interfaces to the PCE.
Configuration Example
The following example shows how to configure an IPv4 unnumbered interface:
To bring up the IPv4 unnumbered adjacency under the IGP, configure the link as point-to-point under the IGP configuration.
The following example shows how to configure the link as point-to-point under the IGP configuration:
RP/0/0/CPU0:rtrA(config)# router ospf one
RP/0/0/CPU0:rtrA(config-ospf)# area 0
RP/0/0/CPU0:rtrA(config-ospf-ar)# interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0
RP/0/0/CPU0:rtrA(config-ospf-ar-if)# network point-to-point
Verification
Use the show ipv4 interface command to display information about the interface:
RP/0/0/CPU0:rtrA# show ipv4 interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0 brief

Interface IP-Address Status Protocol
GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0192.168.0.1 Up Up
This interface shows the IPv4 address of Loopback0.
Use the show snmp interface command to find the SNMP index for this interface:
The interface is identified with the pair (IPv4:192.168.0.1, index:6).
Use the show ospf neighbor command to display the adjacency:
RP/0/0/CPU0:rtrA# show ospf neighbor gigabitEthernet 0/0/0/0 detail
…
Neighbor 192.168.0.4, interface address 192.168.0.4
In the area 0 via interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0
Neighbor priority is 1, State is FULL, 6 state changes
…
Adjacency SIDs:
Label: 24001, Dynamic, Unprotected
Neighbor Interface ID: 4
The output of the show segment-routing traffic-eng ipv4 topology command is enhanced to display the interface index instead of the IP address for unnumbered interfaces:
RP/0/0/CPU0:rtrA# show segment-routing traffic-eng ipv4 topology
…

The output of the show segment-routing traffic-eng policy detail command includes unnumbered hops:
SR-TE path re-optimization occurs when the head-end determines that there is a more optimal path available than the one currently
used. For example, in case of a failure along the SR-TE LSP path, the head-end could detect and revert to a more optimal path
by triggering re-optimization.
Re-optimization can occur due to the following events:
The explicit path hops used by the primary SR-TE LSP explicit path are modified
The head-end determines the currently used path-option are invalid due to either a topology path disconnect, or a missing
SID in the SID database that is specified in the explicit-path
A more favorable path-option (lower index) becomes available
For event-based re-optimization, you can specify various delay timers for path re-optimization. For example, you can specify
how long to wait before switching to a reoptimized path
Additionally, you can configure a timer to specify how often to perform reoptimization of policies. You can also trigger an
immediate reoptimization for a specific policy or for all policies.
SR-TE Reoptimization
To trigger an immediate SR-TE reoptimization, use the segment-routing traffic-eng reoptimization command in Exec mode:
Use the all option to trigger an immediate reoptimization for all policies. Use the namepolicy option to trigger an immediate reoptimization for a specific policy.
Configuring SR-TE Reoptimization Timers
Use these commands in SR-TE configuration mode to configure SR-TE reoptimization timers:
timers candidate-path cleanup-delayseconds—Specifies the delay before cleaning up candidate paths, in seconds. The range is from 0 (immediate clean-up) to 86400; the
default value is 120
timers cleanup-delayseconds—Specifies the delay before cleaning up previous path, in seconds. The range is from 0 (immediate clean-up) to 300; the default
value is 10.
timers init-verify-restartseconds—Specifies the delay for topology convergence after the topology starts populating due to a restart, in seconds. The range
is from 10 to 10000; the default is 40.
timers init-verify-startupseconds—Specifies the delay for topology convergence after topology starts populating for due to startup, in seconds. The range is
from 10 to 10000; the default is 300
timers init-verify-switchoverseconds—Specifies the delay for topology convergence after topology starts populating due to a switchover, in seconds. The range
is from 10 to 10000; the default is 60.
timers install-delayseconds—Specifies the delay before switching to a reoptimized path, in seconds. The range is from 0 (immediate installation of new
path) to 300; the default is 10.
timers periodic-reoptimizationseconds—Specifies how often to perform periodic reoptimization of policies, in seconds. The range is from 0 to 86400; the default
is 600.
