R1's loopback can ping R2's loopback:

R1#ping ip 200.20.55.2 source lo0

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 200.20.55.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

Packet sent with a source address of 200.20.55.1

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms

R1#

R2's loopback can ping R1's loopback:

R2#ping ip 200.20.55.1 source lo0

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 200.20.55.1, timeout is 2 seconds:

Packet sent with a source address of 200.20.55.2

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms

All looks well, but the TE tunnels are up/down and I can't for the life of me figure out why!

R1#show ip int brie | incl Tun

Tunnel1 200.20.55.1 YES TFTP up down

R1#

R2#show ip int brie | incl Tun

Tunnel1 200.20.55.2 YES TFTP up down

1) When you issue the "show mpls traffic-eng tunn" you will see the error why the tunnel is not setup. It will say Invalid Path option.

To solve it you will have to define a path-option for the TE tunnel, so that it can use it to setup the path till the destination.

2) And also you tunnel destination is to be the loopback of the other router. you can use the interface address in the explicit path option.

Good...

You can try using different path options and see the difference.

You can also try going through this document to play around with the advanced topics in TE.

Figured it out from other posts:

Need "tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option 1 dynamic" on the tunnel interface. No configuration examples specified this.
