Chapter 36 MPLS Basic Capability Configuration
36.1 MPLS Basic Capability Overview
Basic MPLS forwarding functions includes LDP session establishment and LSP path
maintenance.
The typical configuration procedure for enabling basic MPLS functions on a routing
switch is as follows:
1)
Configure LSR ID
2) Enable
MPLS
3) Enable
LDP
4)
Enter VLAN interface view and enable MPLS and LDP on the interface
Then the routing switch can provide MPLS forwarding and LDP signaling functions.
If you want to modify the default parameters or enable some special functions, for
example, manually creating LSP or explicit route, you can configure according to the
methods in configuration list. For some complicated functions, configuration
combination may be required.

Configuring Static LSP
36.2.1 Defining MPLS LSR ID
Before configuring any other MPLS command, it is necessary to configure LSR ID firstly.
This ID is usually in IP address format and must be unique in the domain.
Perform the following configuration in the system view.
