MPLS management typical application

Application scenario

A corporation has two data centers, one primary and one backup. To connect the two data centers
at Layer 2 using the MPLS technology, build an MPLS network based on the current network
structure, and create a static LSP for label forwarding and label statistics.

The two data centers are connected at Layer 2 through the MPLS network constructed by devices
P1, P2, and P3, as shown in the following figure:

Scenario analysis

To meet the application requirements, you can use the MPLS Management component to create
and manage the MPLS network. Import P1, P2, and P3 to the MPLS Management, and batch enable
MPLS/MPLS LDP for these devices. The system automatically maps out a network topology of the
MPLS network constructed by the imported devices. Based on the topology, create and deploy a
static LSP. Then, you can view the label usage statistics, learn the LSP traffic statistics, and set LSP
traffic thresholds.

Operation procedure

1.

Create an MPLS network.
a.

Select MPLS Management > Device Management from the navigation tree.

b.

Click Import Devices. Import P1, P2, and P3 to the MPLS management. (Assume that the
devices are already imported to the iMC platform.) For configuration procedures, see
Import Devices.

c.

On the Device Management page, enable MPLS/MPLS LDP for devices P1, P2, and P3.
For configuration procedures, see Batch Enable MPLS/MPLS LDP for Devices.

2.

Create and deploy LSPs.
a.

Select MPLS Management > LSP Management from the navigation tree.

b.

Click Add Static LSP. Deploy static LSPs between P1, P2, and P3. For example, set up an
LSP with P1 as the ingress node, P2 as the transmit node, and P3 as the egress node.
The path between P1 and P2 can be manually selected, or automatically generated by
the system. You can create more static LSPs in the same way. For configuration procedures,
see LSP Management.
