Junos MPLS for EX Series Switches Overview
You can configure Junos MPLS on Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches to
increase transport efficiency in the network. MPLS services can be used to connect various
sites to a backbone network and to ensure better performance for low-latency
applications such as VoIP and other business-critical functions.
Junos MPLS for EX Series switches supports:
•
Layer 2 protocols
•
Layer 2 VPNs
•
RSVP-based label-switched paths (LSPs)
•
MPLS-based circuits cross-connect (CCCs)
•
IP over MPLS
•
Class of service (CoS)
NOTE:
MPLS configurations on EX Series switches are compatible with
configurations on other Juniper Networks devices that support MPLS and
CCC.
