MPLS Commands

authentication

Use the authentication command to enable cryptographic authentication. The no form and the default form of the command removes crytographic authentication.

Command Mode

MPLS RSVP sub-mode (mpls-rsvp)

Command Syntax

authentication [index 1-4294967295 [active | password ]|[sequence-number window 1-255]|[type [md5 | none]]]

no authentication [index 1-4294967295 [active | password ]|[sequence-number window 1-255]|[type [md5 | none]]]

default authentication [index 1-4294967295 [active | password ]|[sequence-number window 1-255]|[type [md5 | none]]]

Parameters
  • index 1-4294967295Password index.
    • activeUse index as the active password.
    • passwordpassword.
  • sequence-numberIndex in the sequesnce.
    • window 1-255 Reorder window size. The default value is 5. A value of 1 turns off support for packet reordering.
  • typeAuthentication mechanism.
    • md5MD5 hash.
    • noneNo authentication mechanism. Disables cryptographic authentication.
Examples
  • Cryptographic Authentication (RFC 2747) is enabled by setting the authentication type to md5 and configuring an active password.
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# authentication type md5
  • Authentication secrets are configured with an index. One of the indices should be chosen as the actively used password:
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# authentication index 1 password s3cr3t
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# authentication index 1 active

    The active password is used to authenticate outgoing messages. All configured passwords are accepted for authentication of incoming packets, which allows smooth key rollover.

  • Password obfuscation is available:
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# authentication index 1 password 7 07092E43
  • The size of the sequence number reorder window can be changed to accommodate a larger number of out-of-order packets. A value of N means that a packet is accepted if all earlier received packets with a higher sequence number are within the preceding N-1 packets.
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# authentication sequence-number window 5

    The default value is 5. A value of 1 effectively turns off support for packet reordering.

cspf delay

RSVP-TE uses CSPF to compute the FRR backup path. CSPF can be throttled to avoid frequent path changes when there are frequent network events. Use the cspf delay command to specify how frequently CSPF is to run after a network event by specifying the initial wait interval, back-off interval, and maximum wait interval for CSPF. The no form and the default form of the command removes the CSPF delay.

Command Mode

Router traffic engineering mode

Command Syntax

cspf delay [initial n back-off n] max n

no cspf delay [initial n back-off n] max n

default cspf delay [initial n back-off n] max n

Parameters
  • initial Specify initial wait interval for CSPF.
    • n Time in milliseconds. 1-300000.
      • back-off specify back-off interval for CSPF.
        • n Time in milliseconds. 1-300000.
  • max Specify maximum wait interval for CSPF.
    • n Time in milliseconds. 1-300000.

entropy-label

The entropy-label command enables the MPLS LDP Entropy Label.

The no entropy-label command removes the MPLS LDP Entropy Label configurations from the running-config.

Command Mode

MPLS LDP Configuration Mode

Command Syntax

entropy-label

no entropy-label

Example

This command enables the MPLS LDP Entropy Label.
switch(config)# mpls ldp
switch(config-mpls-ldp)# entropy-label
switch(config-mpls-ldp)# exit

fast-reroute

Use the fast-reroute command to support Fast Reroute (FRR) link protection/NHOP (RFC 4090). You can enable FRR protection by setting the Fast Reroute mode to link-protection.

Command Mode

MPLS RSVP sub-mode (mpls-rsvp)

Command Syntax

fast-reroute [mode [ link-protection | node-protection | none]|[reversion [global | local]]

Parameters
  • modeFast reroute mode.
    • link-protectionProtects against failure of the next link.
    • node-protectionprotects against failure of the next node.
    • noneDisables fast reroute.
  • reversionSelect reversion behavior.
    • globalGlobal revertive repair (default).
    • localLocal revertive repair.
Examples
  • Support for Fast ReRoute (FRR) link protection/NHOP (RFC 4090) is enabled by setting the Fast Reroute mode to link-protection.
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# fast-reroute mode link-protection
  • To turn off FRR, change the mode to the default setting none.
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# fast-reroute mode none
  • You can change the revertive behavior of the FRR from the global revertive mode to the local revertive mode. In the global revertive mode, an LSR that is re-routed over a bypass tunnel because its downstream link is d keeps using the bypass tunnel even after the link has recovered. This expects the headend router to set up a new LSP upon notification that a link is not available anymore. In the local revertive mode, the LSR switches back to using the primary link after recovery
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# fast-reroute reversion local
  • The default for reversion is global.
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# fast-reroute reversion global

fast-reroute reversion

You can change the revertive behavior of the FRR from the global revertive mode to the local revertive mode. In the global revertive mode, an LSR that is re-routed over a bypass tunnel because its downstream link is dead keeps using the bypass tunnel even after the link has recovered. This expects the headend router to set up a new LSP upon notification that a link is not available anymore. In the local revertive mode, the LSR switches back to using the primary link after recovery.

The default for reversion is global.

Command Mode

Configuration sub-mode for RSVP

Command syntax

fast-reroute reversion [global | local]

Parameters
  • global Global revertive repair.
  • localLocal revertive repair.
Examples
  • Setting the fast-reroute reversion to local:

    (config-mpls-rsvp)# fast-reroute reversion local
  • The default for reversion is global.
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# fast-reroute reversion global

hello interval

The hello interval command sets the time between the hello packets. The no form of the command explicitly disables the Hello messages, while the default form of the command resets to the default setting of 10 seconds with a multiplier of 4.

Command Mode

Configuration sub-mode for RSVP.

Command Syntax

hello interval [interval [sec]] [multiplier [num]]

no hello interval [interval [sec]][multiplier [num]]

default hello interval [interval [sec]][multiplier [num]]

Parameters
  • interval secThe interval in units of seconds.
    • multiplier numThe number of missed hellos after which the neighbor is expired.
Examples
  • In this example, hello messages are sent to all known neighbors every 10 seconds. If no hello responses are received from a neighbor for 4*10=40 seconds, communication is considered to be lost and the neighbor is reset.
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# hello interval 10 multiplier 4
  • In this example, the default of 10 seconds with multiplier 4 is reset.
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# default hello interval
  • in this example, the command to explicitly disables the Hello messages.
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# no hello interval

mpls ip

The mpls ip command enables MPLS routing. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a networking process that avoids complex lookups in a routing table by replacing complete network addresses with short path labels for directing data packets to network nodes. MPLS data paths are serviced through a tunnel encapsulation data structure that adds four-byte label headers to packets.

The no mpls ip and default mpls ip commands disable MPLS routing by removing the mpls ip command from running-config. When MPLS routing is disabled, routed MPLS packets are dropped and all MPLS routes and adjacencies are removed. MPLS routing is disabled by default.

Command Mode

    !
    
    !
    end
    switch(config)#

mpls shared index

The mpls shared index command configures an Ethernet-Segment (ES) shared-index to allocate an ESI label value based on the shared-index configuration.

The no mpls shared index command removes mpls shared index configuration from the running-config.

Command Mode

EVPN Ethernet-Segment Mode

Command Syntax

mpls shared index index-value

no mpls shared index index-value

Parameter
  • index-value Label index value. Value ranges from 1 to 1024.
Example
  • These commands place the switch on Ethernet-Segment (ES) configuration mode and configure an MPLS shared index value of 100.
    switch(config)# interface Ethernet4
    switch(config-if-Et1)# switchport access vlan 1000
    switch(config-if-Et1)# evpn ethernet-segment
    switch(config-evpn-es)# identifier 0022:2222:2222:2222:2222
    switch(config-evpn-es)# mpls shared index 100
    switch(config-evpn-es)# route-target import 00:02:00:02:00:02

mpls static

The mpls static command creates an MPLS rule that specifies the method of handling of inbound MPLS traffic. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a networking process that replaces complete network addresses with short path labels for directing data packets to network nodes.

Static rules specify these parameters:
  • MPLS filter: The top-label parameter specifies the 20-bit value that the MPLS packet’s top header label must match to be handled by the rule.
  • Nexthop location: Specifies the destination nexthop address (IPv4 or IPv6) and the interface through which the switch forwards the packet.
  • MPLS action: Specifies the MPLS label stack management action performed on the packet:
    • pop-payload: removes the top label from stack; this terminates an LSP (label-switched path).
    • swap-label: replaces top label with a specified new label; this passes a packet along an LSP.
  • Rule priority: Specifies the rule to be used when an MPLS packet matches multiple rules.
The no mpls static and default mpls static commands delete the specified MPLS rule from running-config.
  • Commands that include only a top label tag remove all MPLS rules with the matching top label.
  • Commands with no PRIORITY parameter remove all matching routes of every metric value.

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Syntax

mpls static top-label top_tag[ bgp peer [peer IP]] [DEST_INTF] NEXTHOP_ADDR ACTION [PRIORITY]

no mpls static top-label top_tag

no mpls static top-label top_tag [DEST_INTF] NEXTHOP_ADDR ACTION [PRIORITY]

default mpls static top-label top_tag

default mpls static top-label top_tag [DEST_INTF] NEXTHOP_ADDR ACTION [PRIORITY]

Parameters
  • top_tag      Top header’s label field contents. Value ranges from 0 to 1048575 (20 bits).
  • BGP peer peer IP The BGP peer identifier.
  • DEST_INTF Specifies interface through which NEXTHOP_ADDR is accessed. Options include:
    • no parameter      Any interface.
    • ethernet e_num       Ethernet interface specified by e_num.
    • loopback l_num      Loopback interface specified by l_num.
    • management m_num      Management interface specified by m_num.
    • port-channel p_num      Port-channel interface specified by p_num.
    • vlan v_num      VLAN interface specified by v_num.
    • VXLAN vx_num      VXLAN interface specified by vx_num.
  • NEXTHOP_ADDR      Nexthop address for MPLS for filtered MPLS packets. Options include:
    • ipv4_addr  IPv4 address.
    • ipv6_addr      IPv6 address.
  • ACTION MPLS header stack management action performed on packet. Options include:
    • pop payload-type ipv4 Removes top layer from stack. Payload is handled as IPv4 packet.
    • pop payload-type ipv6 Removes top layer from stack. Payload is handled as IPv6 packet.
    • swap-label 0 to 1048575      Replaces header label with specified label value (20 bits).
  • PRIORITY     Specifies rule priority when multiple rules match a packet. Options include:
    • no parameter      Assigns a metric value of 100 to the rule.
    • metric 1 to 255     Lower values denote higher priority. Value ranges from 1 to 255.

The mpls static command does not support push label actions.

Examples
  • These commands create an MPLS rule that matches packets with a top label value of 3400 and causes the removal of the top label from the header stack. The nexthop destination of the IPv4 payload is IP address 10.14.4.4 through Ethernet interface 3/3/3. This rule has a metric value of 100.
    switch(config)# mpls static top-label 3400 ethernet 3/3/3 10.14.4.4 pop payload-type ipv4
    switch(config)# show running-config
    
    !
    mpls static top-label 3400 Ethernet3/3/3 10.14.4.4 pop payload-type ipv4
    !
    
    end
    switch(config)#
  • These commands create a backup rule that forwards the packet through Ethernet interface 4/3. This rule’s metric value of 150 assigns it backup status prior to the first rule.
    switch(config)# mpls static top-label 3400 ethernet 4/3 10.14.4.4 pop payload-type ipv4 metric 150
    switch(config)# show running-config

ping mpls rsvp session

LSP Ping allows the user to check if the remote endpoint of an RSVP session is reachable through the LSP. Running ping on an RSVP LSP creates an LSP Ping Request packet with the label programmed by RSVP and that packet will follow the MPLS path until it reaches the end of the tunnel. If the node that receives this Request is the intended destination, it replies with an RSVP Ping Reply through normal IP routing. When the source receives the Reply it indicates that there are no apparent data plane failures and that the endpoint of that LSP is reachable.

shutdown

The shutdown command disables the RSVP-TE protocol instance or the RSVP-related functions for the interface. The RSVP-TE configuration information associated with the interface is retained.

RSVP-TE is enabled globally by issuing no shutdown in the configuration sub-mode. This is the only mandatory setting for RSVP-TE to work. There is no per-interface knob to enable or disable RSVP. However, RSVP is only enabled on interfaces on which MPLS is enabled.

Command Mode

Configuration sub-mode for RSVP

Command Syntax

shutdown

no shutdown

Examples
  • You can enable RSVP-TE globally by issuing the no shutdown command.
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# no shutdown
  • Similarly, it is disabled with the shutdown command, which is the default.
    (config-mpls-rsvp)# shutdown

srlg

The srlg command specifies if link SRLGs of a primary LSP are to be considered as constraints while creating a fast-reroute bypass tunnel with either link or node protection. When the srlg command is specified with strict keyword, then when a path for a bypass tunnel excluding SRLGs of next-hop interface of primary LSP can not be found, RSVP does not setup the bypass tunnel. When thesrlg command is specified without the strict keyword, then a bypass tunnel is setup with as many links as possible that exclude the SRLGs of next-hop interface of primary LSP and where such links are not available, links that have the least number of SRLGs which are to be excluded are used.

When this CLI is not configured, the behavior remains the same as before, which is to turn off SRLG processing. Therefore, the no and default versions of the command takes you back to the default of SRLG processing being turned off.

Command Mode

Configuration sub-mode for RSVP

Command Syntax

srlg strict

no srlg strict

default srlg strict

Parameters

strictApplies strict SRLG constraints.

Example

The SRLGs of an interface can be configured using the following traffic-engineering CLIs.
switch(config)# interface Et1
switch(config-if-Et1)# traffic-engineering srlg 100

switch(config)# interface Et2
switch(config-if-Et2)# traffic-engineering srlg 200

vrf (MPLS tunnel termination)

The vrf (MPLS tunnel termination) command places the switch in MPLS Tunnel Termination VRF Configuration mode. There is one command available in this mode: qos map dscp (MPLS tunnel termination VRF).

Command Mode

MPLS Tunnel Termination Configuration mode

Command Syntax

vrf vrf_name

Parameter

  • vrf_nameThe name of the VRF to configure. This does not create a VRF. The VRF must be created with the vrf command in Configuration mode.

Example

These commands place the switch in MPLS Tunnel Termination VRF Configuration mode for VRF newVRF1.
switch(config)#mpls tunnel configuration
switch(config-mpls-tunnel-configuration)#vrf newVRF1
switch(config-mpls-tunnel-configuration-vrf-newVRF1)#
