Static Route within L3VPN with static-lsp-next-hop
Hello,

we have a MPLS enabled network with LDP as signaling protol and some
L3VPNs. In one of those VRF, for test purposes I need to route some
hosts through an alternate path to the destination compared to the rest
of the network. Therefore i configured a static-label-switched-path with
preference 10 so that the static LSP isn't prefered over the
LDP-signaled one. The intermediate routers on the alternate path are
also configured as transit for the static-label-switched-path.
Afterwards i configured a static host-route on the ingress router in the
said VRF with a static-lsp-next-hop

# show protocols mpls
~
static-label-switched-path TEST_LSP {
ingress {
next-hop <ip of next-hop router>;
preference 10;
to <egress router>;
push 1000001;
}
}
~

# show routing-instances VRF-XXX routing-options static
route x.x.x.x/32 {
static-lsp-next-hop TEST_LSP;
}


The /32 route shows in the inet.0 table for the VRF, but a ping to the
destination wasn't successful.

# run show route x.x.x.x/32
VRF-XXX.inet.0: 4844 destinations, 19356 routes (4844 active, 0
holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

x.x.x.x/32 *[Static/5] 00:00:09
> to <egress router> via ae0.0, Push 1000001


During closer investigation with "show route detail", i found that there
is no VPN label for the host route.

VRF-XXX.inet.0: 4844 destinations, 19356 routes (4844 active, 0

All static-route examples i found used lsp-next-hop only in default
routing-instance and not in a VRF. I would be interested in whether it
can be configured that way and if not, how can i do such nasty kind of
traffic engineering

Regards,
Alex
