  Configuring MPLS-TP
Locking/Unlocking MPLS-TP Tunnels in Bulk
An MPLS-TP network has one or multiple LSPs running between endpoint devices. If you want to 
shutdown one of the interfaces in the network, the MPLS-TP packet must be diverted through an 
alternative LSP. This can be achieved by locking the interface. Before attempting to lock or unlock a 
tunnel, ensure that MPLS-TP tunnels have been configured for the...
