Enable MPLS and RSVP on Routers
Action
To enable MPLS and RSVP on routers in your network, follow these steps:
- In configuration mode, go to the following hierarchy level:[edit]user@host# edit protocols
- Configure MPLS and RSVP:[edit protocols]user@host# set mpls interface all user@host# set rsvp interface all
- Disable the management interface for MPLS and RSVP:[edit protocols mpls]user@host# set interface fxp0.0 disable [edit protocols rsvp]user@host# set interface fxp0.0 disable
- Verify and commit the configuration:user@host# showuser@host# commit
Sample Output
user@R1> edit
Entering configuration mode
[edit]
user@R1# edit protocols
[edit protocols]
user@R1# set mpls interface all
[edit protocols]
user@R1# set rsvp interface all
[edit protocols]
user@R1# show
rsvp {
interface all;
interface fxp0.0 {
disable;
}
}
mpls {
interface all;
interface fxp0.0 {
disable;
}
}
[edit protocols]
user@R1# commit
commit complete
Meaning
The sample output shows that router R1 has MPLS and RSVP enabled on all interfaces, except for the management interface (fxp0.0), which is disabled. It is considered best practice to disable the management interlace (fxp0.0) for MPLS and RSVP to preempt any problems. The sample network shown in MPLS Network Topology has all interfaces (with the management interface [fxp0.0]) disabled on all routers configured with the MPLS and RSVP protocols.
Typically every interface that you want to use is listed. For an example of a router configured with specific interfaces, see Enable IS-IS on Routers in Your Network.
