[j-nsp] RSVP/MPLS question

[Amos Rosenboim]

Hi,

I'm trying to enable MPLS in a small service provider network.
The network consists of 4 M10i routers, and 1 ERX router.
The ERX is out of the scope for the moment, and first stage was to  
configure RSVP and MPLS on the M series routers, and to create a full  
mesh of LSP.
The topology is described in the below drawing:

R1-----3 X E1------R2------Ethernet (VLAN on a GigE interface)------ 
R3----------T3------------R4



All is working well between R4, R3, and R2.

However, all LSP from R1, except for the one to R2 are down.
The failed LSP at R1 shows:
CSPF failed: no route toward 217.69.0.4[4873 times]

While:
oasis at M10i-THESS1-re0> show route 217.69.0.4

inet.0: 126 destinations, 131 routes (126 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

217.69.0.4/32      *[OSPF/150] 1d 11:16:33, metric 5, tag 0
                       via e1-1/3/0.0
                     > via e1-1/3/2.0
                       via e1-1/3/4.0

inet.3: 108 destinations, 109 routes (108 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

217.69.0.4/32      *[OSPF/150] 1d 10:17:08, metric 5, tag 0
                     > via e1-1/3/0.0, label-switched-path To-ATH


Also, RSVP is acting very strange over the 3 X E1 lines between R1  
and R2.
First, when we configured all 3 E1 for RSVP, only two neighbors came  
up. After few clear RSVP session commands the third neighbor came up.
Then, there are only active RSVP sessions between R1 and R3 and R4,  
only with R2.

Then we disabled RSVP on 2 of the E1 lines and stayed with just one,  
but R2 still showed 3 RSVP neighbors. Their idle time increase but  
they are staying "up" although RSVP is no longer configured on those  
interfaces.
When tracing RSVP on R2 we also get:

R2 is running :

R1 is running:
Model: m10i
JUNOS Base OS boot [7.5R4.4]
JUNOS Base OS Software Suite [7.5R4.4]
JUNOS Kernel Software Suite [7.5R4.4]
JUNOS Packet Forwarding Engine Support (M7i/M10i) [7.5R4.4]
JUNOS Routing Software Suite [7.5R4.4]
JUNOS Online Documentation [7.5R4.4]
JUNOS Crypto Software Suite [7.5R4.4]



All the documentation i could find refers to the cspf no route error  
message of the LSP as there is really no route, however, in this case  
it seems that there is a route.


I'm suspecting it's either something with the  3 x E1 connection, or  
RSVP issue, but I can't really fix it.

Any help will be welcomed.
