Manual RSVP Reservations

Problem

You want to manually reserve bandwidth through your network to support a real-time application that isn’t able to dynamically create new reservations as required.

Solution

In this example, we will assume that we have a host device, acting as the sender, with IP address 192.168.100.202 and a second host, acting as the receiver, with IP address 192.168.9.100. The first host is connected to FastEthernet0/0 Router1:

Router1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router1(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0
Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.100.21 255.255.255.0
Router1(config-if)#ip rsvp bandwidth 128 56
Router1(config-if)#exit
Router1(config)#interface Serial0/0
Router1(config-if)#no ip address
Router1(config-if)#encapsulation frame-relay
Router1(config-if)#fair-queue 64 256 37
Router1(config-if)#ip rsvp bandwidth
Router1(config-if)#exit
Router1(config)#interface Serial0/0.1 point-to-point
Router1(config-subif)#ip address 192.168.55.9 255.255.255.252
Router1(config-subif)#frame-relay interface-dlci 904
Router1(config-fr-dlci)#ip rsvp bandwidth 128 56
Router1(config-subif)#exit
Router1(config)#ip rsvp sender 192.168.9.100 192.168.100.202 UDP 1300 1300 192.168.100.202 FastEthernet0/0 55 1
Router1(config)#end
Router1#

The second host is connected to the Ethernet0/0 interface on Router4, which is several hops away:

Router4# configure terminal
Router4(config)#interface Ethernet0/0
Router4(config-if)#ip address 192.168.9.3 ...
