Workflow to configure MPLS

Stages
 

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.


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 .


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 .


Create a mesh of MPLS paths. See To create an MPLS path .


As required, create a mesh of LSPs.

  1. Create a static LSP. See To create a static LSP .

  2. Create a Dynamic LSP. See To create a Dynamic LSP . See To create a Dynamic or segment routing LSP from a tunnel template for more information about how to create a Dynamic LSP from a tunnel template.

  3. Create a Segment Routing TE LSP. See To create a segment routing TE LSP.

  4. Create a Point-to-Multipoint LSP. See To create a Point-to-Multipoint LSP .

  5. View MVPN Point-to-Multipoint LSP objects as required. See To view an MVPN Point-to-Multipoint LSP object .

  6. Create or configure a Manual Bypass LSP. See To create a Manual Bypass LSP or To configure a Manual Bypass LSP .


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 .


Create an LSP Path optimization policy, if required. See To configure an LSP Path optimization policy .


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.
