SPVC Node Prefix: 47.00918100000100001a531c2a
In the example above, the node ATM address does not conform to the peer group ID or the SPVC prefix,
so it must be advertised in addition to the SPVC prefix.
Configuring the MPLS Controller
The MPLS controller manages MPLS communications through the switch. Typically, the MPLS
controller is used with a PNNI controller. Both MPLS and PNNI controllers can be used on the same line.
Note
The MPLS label switch controller (LSC) function is not supported on Cisco MGX 8830 and
Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E) switches.
Note
Before entering the following command, you must log in as a user with SUPER_GP privileges or higher.
To enable and configure the MPLS controller, enter the following command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a >
addcontroller
<
cntrlrId
>
i
<
cntrlrType
> <
lslot
> [
cntrlrName
]
describes the parameters for the addcontroller command.
Tip
Remember to include the i option, which identifies the controller as an internal controller.
To display the MPLS controller configuration, enter the dspcontrollers command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a >
