Basic MPLS Configuration Tasks

Configuring an MPLS network includes a number of tasks:
To configure an MPLS network:
Many users find it convenient to configure MPLS by completing the tasks in each set
of tasks before moving to the next set. However, you do not have to complete the
tasks in the listed order. For example, you might perofrm all the pure MPLS tasks
relevant to your network and then perform all the relevant LDP or RSVP-TE tasks.
The type of network you want to implement determines which sets of tasks you must
complete, as indicated in Table 28 on page 268.

Table 28: Configuration Tasks by Type of Network

In addition to the basic configuration tasks, you might need to perform other LDP
or RSVP-TE configuration tasks.

Configure settings common to all MPLS usage on a given LSR.
See "MPLS Global Configuration Tasks" on page 269.
(Optional) Configure LDP or RSVP-TE interface profiles.
See "LDP and RSVP-TE Interface Profile Configuration Tasks" on page 273.
Configure each interface on an LSR that uses MPLS.
See "MPLS Interface Configuration Tasks" on page 274.
Configure MPLS tunnels or topology-driven LSPs.
See "MPLS Tunnel Configuration Tasks" on page 276.
(Optional) Configure a profile that contains settings to be used by multiple MPLS
tunnels.
See "MPLS Tunnel Profile Configuration Tasks" on page 277.
