Base Configuration for a P Router
P routers in your MPLS network must have the following entities configured before these devices are prestaged:
- A Gigabit Ethernet interface to each router in the network
- Loopback interface
- MPLS protocol
- ospf protocol
- ldp protocol
Figure 1 shows a simple network with one P router connecting five N-PE routers.

The following example shows a P-router configuration for the simple network shown in Figure 1.
