Multi-Service IronWare Multiprotocol Label Switch (MPLS) Configuration Guide

Overview

NOTE
MPLS cannot be configured on the system globally when a NI-MLX-10Gx8-D card is installed.
This chapter explains how to configure MPLS Virtual Leased Line (VLL) on a Brocade device. Virtual
Leased Line is also known as Pseudo Wire Emulation as defined by the IETF PWE3 Working Group.
MPLS VLL is a method for providing point-to-point Ethernet or VLAN connectivity over an MPLS
domain. This functionality is outlined in the IETF documents
“draft-ietf-pwe3-control-protocol-14.txt” and “draft-ietf-pwe3-ethernet-encap-08.txt”.
This chapter is divided into the following sections:
•
525 describes how packets are encapsulated and forwarded
over an MPLS VLL.
•
“Example 2: CoS behavior for dual-tagged to single-tagged VLL endpoints”
describes how to set up MPLS VLLs on devices using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
•
“Displaying MPLS VLL information”
547 describes the commands used to display
information about an MPLS VLL configuration.
•
“Sample MPLS VLL configuration”
555 illustrates a sample MPLS VLL configuration
and lists the CLI commands used for implementing it.
