Dear, i got this while following your tutorial

> PE1(config)#mpls traffic-eng area 0  
> ^(arrow symbol under area)  
> % Invalid input detected at ‘^’ marker.

> PE1(config)#mpls traffic-eng ?  
> **atm** Preformatted text Traffic Engineering ATM parameters  
> **uto-bw** auto-bw parameters  
> **link-management** Link Management configuration  
> **logging** Trap logging configuration  
> **path-selection** Path Selection Configuration  
> **reoptimize** Reoptimization parameters  
> **signalling** Traffic Engineering Signalling Parameters  
> **topology** Topology Database Configuration  
> **tunnels** Traffic Engineering tunnels

_Should i do instead this ?_

```
configure terminal
mpls traffic-eng tunnels
router ospf 1
mpls traffic-eng router-id loopback0
mpls traffic-eng area 0
```
