Verifying the MPLS Configuration

Purpose

After configuring MPLS on your network, you must verify the correct configuration of both the MPLS and RSVP protocols. Incorrect configuration of either protocol prevents successful LSP creation.

Figure 5 illustrates the network with the example configurations used in this chapter. For more details about the router configurations in this network, see Configuring MPLS on a Network.
