Workflow to configure MPLS
Stages
1 |
Enable and configure one or more IGPs such as IS-IS, RIP, and OSPF to include the system interface on all NEs that are to participate in the MPLS network. See the appropriate device documentation for more information. |
2 |
Enable MPLS on the routing instances of all NEs that are to participate in the MPLS network. See To enable MPLS on a routing instance . |
3 |
Create or configure an MPLS instance. Assign Layer 3 interfaces, including the system management interface, to the MPLS instance. See To configure an MPLS instance or To create an MPLS interface . |
4 |
Create a mesh of MPLS paths. See To create an MPLS path . |
5 |
As required, create a mesh of LSPs.
|
6 |
If your mesh includes Dynamic LSPs or Bypass-only LSPs, configure an LSP path. See To configure an LSP path or To create an LSP path using a tunnel template . |
7 |
Create an LSP Path optimization policy, if required. See To configure an LSP Path optimization policy . |
8 |
Create and apply administrative LSP tags, if required. See Administrative tagging. |
Note: Only Static LSPs and Static FRR LSPs are supported on the OS 9700E and OS 9800E NEs.
RSVP is not supported on the OS 9700E and OS 9800E NEs.
Label actions cannot be modified on NEs after the labels are created by the NFM-P.
