To create an MPLS interface
Purpose
Create an MPLS interface by assigning a network interface to an MPLS instance.
This procedure requires the existence of a numbered or unnumbered L3 network interface on the NE that hosts the MPLS instance. See NE routing and forwarding for more information about how to configure network interfaces.
Steps
1 |
Choose Routing from the NFM-P navigation tree view selector. |
2 |
Navigate to Routing→NE→Routing Instance→MPLS. |
3 |
Right-click on the MPLS object and choose Create Interface. The MPLS Interface (Create) form opens. |
4 |
Assign a numbered or unnumbered L3 network interface as the MPLS interface by selecting an interface in the Interface panel. |

Configure the required general parameters. |
6 |
Configure the required parameters in the TE Metric panel. |
