Configuring tunnel policies

Overview

Tunnel policies enable a PE to forward traffic for each MPLS VPN over multiple LSP tunnels to achieve
load sharing when the PE has multiple tunnels to the peer PE.
For more information about MPLS VPNs, see

Configuring a tunnel policy

To select multiple tunnels for load sharing, create a tunnel policy and specify the number of tunnels by
using the select-seq load-balance-number command.
As shown in
VPNs. To achieve load sharing over the three tunnels for each VPN, configure one tunnel policy, use the
select-seq load-balance-number command to specify the number of tunnels for load balancing as three,
and apply the tunnel policy to each MPLS VPN.
