Configuring MPLS on Provider Switches (CLI Procedure)

®
OS for EX Series Ethernet Switches, Release 10.3
Junos MPLS for EX Series switches supports Layer 2 protocols and Layer 2 virtual private
networks (VPNs). You can configure MPLS on 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 EX Series
Switches" on page 3167.
To implement MPLS on 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.
