exclude-address
To specify an IP address while configuring a traffic engineering (TE) explicit-path that TE should avoid
using while calculating the label switched path (LSP), use the exclude-address command.

Usage Guidelines
Both primary and backup tunnel paths can be dynamic or explicit and they do not have to use the
exclude-address. Because backup tunnels must avoid the protected link or node, you should use the
exclude-address command.
When using the exclude-address command to specify the path for a backup tunnel, you must exclude
an interface IP address to avoid a link (for creating a next-hop [NHOP] backup tunnel), or a router ID
address to avoid a node (for creating an next-next-hop [NNHOP] backup tunnel).
This command requires the MPLS Services license.
Examples
This example shows how to specify an address to exclude while configuring an explicit-path:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# mpls traffic-eng configuration
switch(config-te)# explicit-path name avoid-protected-link
switch(config-te-expl-path)# exclude-address 3.3.3.3
1: exclude-address 3.3.3.3
switch(config-te-expl-path)#
