Example on Cisco IOS-XR (PE1 to P1 link):
configure terminal
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0
ipv4 address 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.254
no shutdown
mpls ip
mpls ldp neighbor 10.0.0.2 targeted
exit
router ospf 100

router bgp 65001
neighbor 10.0.0.2 remote-as 65001
neighbor 10.0.0.2 update-source Loopback0
address-family vpnv4 unicast
neighbor 10.0.0.2 activate
On Juniper MX (equivalent):
set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 192.168.1.0/31
set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family mpls
set protocols mpls interface ge-0/0/0.0
set protocols ldp interface ge-0/0/0.0
set protocols ospf area 0 interface ge-0/0/0.0 passive
set protocols bgp group ibgp local-address 10.0.0.1
set protocols bgp group ibgp neighbor 10.0.0.2 family inet-vpn unicast
Drawbacks: Time-consuming, error-prone, no audit trail. spom link create
Open your terminal or command prompt and log in:
spomctl login --tenant acme-corp --username admin --api-key xyz789
Run the core command:
spomctl spom link create --file spom-config.yaml --name "Salesforce-Customer-Sync"
Add a where clause to your link configuration:
filter: "source.status == 'active' AND source.region == 'EMEA'"
This ensures only relevant records traverse the link. Example on Cisco IOS-XR (PE1 to P1 link):
Creating a SPOM link is not just a technical exercise; it is a business enabler. Here are five compelling reasons to master this command:
