Aggregate labels for VPNs allow a Juniper Networks routing platform to aggregate a set of incoming labels (labels received from a peer router) into a single forwarding label that is selected from the set of incoming labels. The single forwarding label corresponds to a single next hop for that set of labels.
For a set of labels to share a single forwarding label, they must belong to the same forwarding equivalence class (FEC). The labeled packets must have the same destination egress interface.
To configure aggregate labels for VPNs, include the aggregate-label statement:
-
aggregate-label {
- community community-name;
- }
For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can include the aggregate-label statement, see the statement summary for this statement.
