Hello All,
        That was a good discussion on RSVP LSP without CSPF.But am sorry am getting confused.
        I am trying to summarise below whatever I have grasped. Pls correct me if I am wrong.

Steps:
 
   1. First IGP TE populates the TEDB.
  
   2. If CSPF option is set CSPF uses the TEDB to calculate the best path with constraints online.
      (Note:CSPF calculation is possible only if u have TEDB.)
  
   3. If verbatim option is set in Cisco or "no cspf" is set in Juniper or other networks it means that
      IGP TE is not necessary and hence cspf will not be used to find the explicit path.
  
   4. Instead strict/loose path option(manual configuration of static path by user)
      is used to set up the explicit LSP and RSVP signalling takes place along that path.This is without TE.
 
    I want to know clearly when TEDB (IGP TE) is required and when it is not.
    Is it true that
   
         if CSPF path - TEDB required
        if strict/loose path- TEDB not required.Here TE does not come into picture at all.
 
 
Thanx in advance
