Appendix I
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Support
This chapter describes the system’s support for BGP/MPLS VPN and explains how it is configured. The product
administration guides provide examples and procedures for configuration of basic services on specific systems. It is
recommended that you select the configuration example that best meets your service model and configure the required
elements for that model, as described in the respective product administration guide, before using the procedures in this
chapter.
When enabled through a feature license key, the system supports MPLS to provide a VPN connectivity from the system
to the corporate’s network.
Important:
This release provides BGP/MPLS VPN for directly connected PE routers only.
MP-BGP is used to negotiate the routes and segregate the traffic for the VPNs. The network node learns the VPN routes
from the connected Provider Edge (PE), while the PE populates its routing table with the routes provided by the network
functions.
