Destination List (Prefix-List)
Auto-mesh tunnels can be automatically created using prefix-list. Each TE enabled router in the network
learns about the TE router IDs through a existing IGP extension.
You can view the router IDs on the router using this command:
show mpls traffic-eng topology | include TE Id
IGP Id: 0001.0000.0010.00, MPLS TE Id:100.1.1.1 Router Node
IGP Id: 0001.0000.0011.00, MPLS TE Id:100.2.2.2 Router Node
IGP Id: 0001.0000.0012.00, MPLS TE Id:100.3.3.3 Router Node
A prefix-list may be configured on each TE router to match a desired set of router IDs (MPLS TE ID as shown
in the above output). For example, if a prefix-list is configured to match addresses of 100.0.0.0 with wildcard
0.255.255.255, then all 100.x.x.x router IDs are included in the auto-mesh group.
When a new TE router is added in the network and its router ID is also in the block of addresses described
by the prefix-list, for example, 100.x.x.x, then it is added in the auto-mesh group on each existing TE router
without having to explicitly modify the prefix-list or perform any additional configuration.
Auto-mesh does not create tunnels to its own (local) TE router IDs.
When prefix-list configurations on all routers are not identical, it can result in non- symmetrical mesh of
Note
tunnels between those routers.

It eliminates the need to reconfigure each existing TE LSR in order to establish a full mesh of TE tunnels
whenever a new TE LSR is added in the network.
