Enabling a Signaling Protocol on the PE Routers

For VPNs to function, you must enable a signaling protocol on the provider edge (PE) routers.

Note: As with any configuration involving Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), you cannot configure any of the core-facing interfaces on the PE routers over dense Fast Ethernet Physical Interface Cards (PICs).

To enable a signaling protocol, perform the steps in one of the following sections:

• Using LDP for VPN Signaling
• Using RSVP for VPN Signaling
