Configuring MPLS on Provider Switches (CLI Procedure)

3102
Junos OS MPLS for J-EX Series switches supports Layer 2 protocols and Layer 2 virtual
private networks (VPNs). You can configure MPLS on J-EX Series switches to increase
transport efficiency in your network. MPLS services can be used to connect various sites
to a backbone network and to ensure better performance for low-latency applications
such as VoIP and other business-critical functions.
NOTE: You can use class of service (CoS) on MPLS networks. For further
information, see "Understanding Using CoS with MPLS Networks on J-EX
Series Switches" on page 2880.
To implement MPLS on J-EX Series switches, you must configure at least one provider
switch as a transit switch for the MPLS packets. The configuration of all the provider
switches is the same regardless of whether the provider edge (PE) switches are using
circuit cross-connect (CCC) or using MPLS over IP for the customer-edge interfaces.
To configure the provider switch, complete the following tasks:
Enable the routing protocol (OSPF or IS-IS) on the loopback interface and on the core

interfaces:
NOTE: You can use the switch address as an alternative to the loopback
interface.
