MPLS TE router-id

Hi group,

I have this scenario: R1----R2----R3

All routers are in the same area and configured with ISIS. Loopback 0 &
loopback 1 are created on R1 & R3. All interface are advertised into ISIS
(include lo0 & lo1). I create a MPLS TE tunnel (R1-->R2-->R3) on R1. The
MPLS TE router-id is the loopback 0 on each router.

Case 1: If the tunnel source & destination set to lo0, the tunnel is UP.

Case 2: If the tunnel source & destination set to lo1, the tunnel is DOWN.

My explicit-path pointing to lo0 in case 1 & lo1 in case 2

So what is the relationship between router-id and the source IP,
destionation of the MPLS TE tunnel?

Thanks.

Rin.
