MPLS Configuration

Configuring L2 Tunnels

-

If you are using the VLAN ID as the FEC, specify the

vlan

option with the

ldp add l2-fec

command.

-

If you are using the incoming port as the FEC, specify the

customer-id

option with the

ldp

add l2-fec

command.

-

If you are using a combination of VLAN ID and incoming port as the FEC, specify both the

vlan

and

customer-id

options with the

ldp add l2-fec

command.

3.

Configure the LDP-signaling VLAN and interface. The ports at both ends of a link between two
LSRs must belong to the same VLAN, i.e., the VLAN ID must be the same on both routers.

Note

Ports in the LDP-signaling VLAN must be trunk ports. If “untagged” packets are
to be transported on the LSP, the tunnel port must be configured as a trunk port
that does not send 802.1q-tagged packets (use the

untagged

option with the

vlan make trunk-port

command).

4.

Configure the tunnel LSP. If you are using RSVP for signaling in the tunnel LSP, use

mpls

commands, as described in

Section 17.5, "Configuring L3 Label Switched Paths."

If you configure

more than one tunnel LSP to the same destination, you can specify the preferred LSP to be used with
the

transport-lsp

option of the

ldp set l2-fec

command. You can also specify if an alternate

LSP can be used. Enable and start MPLS and the signaling protocol (either LDP or RSVP) for the
tunnel LSP.

Note

The

transport-lsp

option of the

ldp set l2-fec

command allows you to

assign a specific LSP to specific customer traffic. This provides a way to offer
different LSP services to different customers.

5.

Configure the IGP routing protocol, either OSPF or IS-IS.

Transit LSR Configuration for L2 Dynamic Labels

On the transit LSRs, configure the following:

1.

Configure the LDP- or RSVP-signaling VLAN and interface.

2.

Enable and start MPLS and the signaling protocol (either LDP or RSVP) for the tunnel LSP.

3.

Configure the IGP routing protocol, either OSPF or IS-IS.
