Configuring MPLS Traffic Engineering in MPLS VPN Environment v1.0
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) traffic engineering (TE) enables an MPLS backbone to replicate and expand upon the traffic engineering capabilities of Layer 2 ATM and Frame Relay networks. Thus, you can offer in a one-tier network what currently can only be achieved by overlaying a Layer 3 network on a Layer 2 network.
In this exercise, you will enable MPLS Traffic Engineering between Provider Edge (PE) routers in an MPLS VPN backbone supporting two customers (A and B) as shown in the following figure:
Objectives
Upon finishing this exercise, you will be able to:
Configure MPLS TE support on a Cisco IOS router
- Enable individual interfaces for MPLS TE
- Configure MPLS TE support in Integrated IS-IS routing protocol
- Configure simple TE tunnels using dynamic path option
- Monitor MPLS TE tunnels and topology
