Static Label-Switched Paths

Must configure each router in the labelswitched path

Slide 3

Static Label-Switched Paths

Ingress, transit, and egress routers must be configured separately

Manually assign label numbers 16-1023 reserved for static labels

Static LSP appears in ingress routers inet.0 table as static route to egress router Not recommended for large scale deployment

No path keepalive checking No automatic fail over Little operational visibility

Static Label-Switched Paths

Static label-switched path from San Francisco to New York

Must configure each router in path Next hop should point to directly-connected interface at far end of each leg in path

Viewing the routing table

On ingress router

user@host> show route 134.112/16 inet.0: 1 destination, 1 route (1 active,0 holddown,0 hidden) + = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both 134.112/16 *[Static/5] 00:00:02 > to 10.0.1.2 via so-3/2/0.0, Push 0000202

Viewing forwarding table

On transit router

user@host> show route table mpls.0 mpls.0: 3 destinations, 3 routes (3 active,0 holddown,0 hidden) + = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both 0 1 *[MPLS/0] 00:00:09, metric 1 Receive *[MPLS/0] 00:00:09, metric 1 Receive *[Static/5] 00:00:09 > to 10.0.3.39 via at-3/1/1.0, swap 0000303

Slide 8

Enable MPLS

Enable MPLS packet forwarding on each logical interface you intend to use for MPLS
[edit interfaces] user@host# set interface-name unit unit family mpls

Enable MPLS routing on the entire router

[edit protocols] user@host# set mpls interface all

Enabling MPLS installs default labels 0 and 1 into mpls.0 switching table
