MPLS Tunnel Profile Configuration Tasks
If you anticipate having multiple tunnels to share the same configuration, you can
reduce your configuration time by using tunnel profiles to configure your tunnels.
In the profile, configure the tunnel endpoint last; anything configured after the tunnel
endpoint does not take effect until the tunnel is brought up the next time. You can
perform all other tasks in any order.
NOTE: Tunnel profile configuration tasks are relevant only for traffic engineering
networks.
