96 MPLS TE C ONFIGURATIONCOMMANDSn MPLS TE is available on these interfaces: synchronous/asynchronous serialinterface (Serial), asynchronous serial interface (Async), Layer 3 Ethernet interface(Ethernet, GE, XGE), ATM interface, POS interface, Layer 3 virtual Ethernetinterface (Virtual-Ethernet), virtual template interface, MP group interface, MFRinterface, tunnel interface, and VLAN interface.add hopSyntax add hop ip-address1 [ include [ loose | strict ] | exclude ] { after | before }ip-address2View Explicit path viewParameter ip-address1: IP address or Router ID of the node to be inserted in the explicit path,in dotted decimal notation.include: Includes the specified IP address in the explicit path.loose: Indicates that the next hop is a loose node which is not necessarily directlyconnected to the specified node.strict: Indicates that the next hop is a strict node which must be directlyconnected to the specified node.exclude: Excludes the node identified by the ip-address1 argument from theexplicit path. Excluded addresses are not considered in path calculation.after: Inserts the node identified by the ip-address1 argument after the referencenode.before: Inserts the node identified by the ip-address1 argument before thereference node.ip-address2: IP address of the reference node, in dotted decimal notation.Description Use the add hop command to insert a node to the explicit path.By default, the specified node is included in the explicit path and its next hop is astrict node.Example # Insert 3.3.29.3 behind 3.3.10.5 on the explicit path PL and exclude this IPaddress in path calculation.
