The output verifies that the secondary LSP has been established.<br />

Another option is not to reserve bandwidth at all for the secondary path, which gives<br />

protection but without any guarantees.<br />

In addition to needing to reserve bandwidth for rarely used secondary paths, secondary<br />

LSPs have two other disadvantages that may cause you to consider using different<br />

protection methods. One is that this configuration creates a single secondary<br />

standby for each protected path. If both paths fail, the desired protection is not provided.<br />

Although you can create more than one secondary path, you are again faced<br />

with the problem of reserving bandwidth for several rarely used paths. A second disadvantage<br />

is that the secondary LSP takes effect only when the ingress router learns<br />

of the failure in the path, so some traffic in the LSP will be lost. Methods such as fast<br />

reroute kick in when routers along the LSP learn of a failure, resulting in less loss of<br />

traffic.<br />
