Configuring MPLS over VLAN

To configure MPLS over VLAN over an Ethernet interface:

1. Specify a Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or 10-Gigabit Ethernet port.
   host1(config)#interface fastEthernet 4/0
2. Specify VLAN as the encapsulation method.
   host1(config-if)#encapsulation vlan

   The VLAN major interface is added.

3. Create a VLAN subinterface by adding a subinterface number to the interface identification command.
   host1(config-if)#interface fastEthernet 4/1.1
4. Do one of the following:
   • Assign a VLAN ID for the subinterface.
     host1(config-if)#vlan id 400
   • Assign a VLAN ID and the optional unique MAC address for the subinterface.
     host1(config-if)#vlan id 400 mac-address 0090.1a01.1234
5. Enable MPLS on the interface.
   host1(config-if)#mpls

Figure 16 illustrates the MPLS/VLAN/Fast Ethernet stacking, showing one VLAN subinterface.
