Choose Routing from the NFM-P navigation tree view selector.

Navigate to Routing→NE→Routing Instance→MPLS.

Right-click on the MPLS object and choose Create Interface. The MPLS Interface (Create) form opens.

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.

Configure the required parameters in the TE Metric panel.

To create a TP MEP interface:

Use the following steps:

1. Click Create in the TP MEP panel. The TP MEP Interface (Create) form opens.

2. Configure the required parameters.

3. Save the changes and close the form.

Click Apply. The form displays additional tabs, and the NFM-P creates the MPLS interface and displays it below the MPLS and RSVP instances in the navigation tree.

To configure a Shared Risk Link Group:

Use the following steps:

1. Click on the Shared Risk Link Groups tab.

2. Click Create. The SharedRiskLinkGroup (Path/Routing Management: MPLS) Select form opens.

3. Search and select the required SRLGs and click OK. Up to 64 SRLGs can be associated with a specific MPLS interface. The SharedRiskLinkGroup (Path/Routing Management: MPLS) Select form closes and the selected SRLG is displayed.

A static label map is required when there are intervening unmanaged NEs between the managed NEs in an MPLS path. To configure a static label map:

Use the following steps:

1. Click on the Static Label Maps tab.

   Note:

   Nokia recommends that you use a static label mapping only to specify unmanaged NEs.

2. Click Create. The Static Label Map (Create) form opens. Alternatively, you can choose a Static Label Map and click Properties to edit the Static Label Map properties.

3. Configure the Label Action parameter. When you change the Label Action parameter from unspecified to Pop or Swap, the Static Label Map (Create) form changes to include other parameters. Configure the required parameters.

   The Egress Label, Next Hop and Enable Implicit Null Label parameters are only configurable when the Label Action parameter value is set to Swap.

   The Egress Label and Next Hop parameters are configurable only when the Label Action parameter value is set to Swap/Protect-Swap.

   The range of the Ingress Label parameter depends on the parameter value set for the Static Label Range on the MPLS instance. See To configure an MPLS instance .

   The NFM-P sets the Label Action parameter value to Pop when the hop destination matches the destination LSP.

4. Save the changes and close the form.

To assign MPLS administrative groups to the interface, click on the Administrative Groups tab. After you assign administrative groups to an MPLS interface, the total value of the groups is displayed in a bit mask format by the Groups Included (bitmask) indicator on the General tab.

Save the changes and close the forms.
