222 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco TunnelBuilder, 5/2002 Background Current configuration of MPLS TE via the most popular Cisco CLI Can very soon become cumbersome for large networks – routers fully meshed –Largest TE customer has nearly 8,000 tunnels –Configuration of Guaranteed Bandwidth, L2VPN (pt-to- pt), QoS We need a network wide configuration/visualization tool

333 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco TunnelBuilder, 5/2002 TE Tunnel Configuration Config Example –Need to execute x commands on the CLI –Need to map traffic onto the tunnel –Verify the tunnel operation –Close the case What happens when a tunnel fails? –Wait till you get an error message –You get the idea… Can I reduce this process to just a few clicks?...only a few clicks away…
