MPLS Forwarding Commands

MPLS Forwarding Commands

This module describes the commands used to configure and use Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) forwarding.

For detailed information about MPLS concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, see MPLS Configuration Guide for Cisco 8000 Series Routers.

hw-module profile cef stats label app-default dynamic

To increase MPLS per path statistics collection to more than 4K counters, use the hw-module profile cef stats label app-default dynamic command in global configuration mode. To return to the default configuration, use the no form of this command.

hw-module profile cef stats label app-default dynamic

This command has no keywords or arguments.

Command Default

This command is disabled.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release Modification
Release 7.0.14

This command was introduced.

The per-path statistics collection is not supported for SR-TE, MPLS-TE, L3VPN, 6PE, and BGP-LU technologies.

Usage Guidelines

The MPLS per-path statistics are reported for IPv4 IGP (LDP/SR) paths. For each outgoing labeled path, a counter is allocated. By default, 4K counters are supported. You can increase it up to 96K counters (thereby extending statistics collection to as many IPv4 IGP (LDP/SR) paths), by enabling this command. You can view the statistics in the show mpls forwarding labels command output.

After you execute the hw-module profile cef stats label app-default dynamic command, or use its no form, you must execute the reload command. It loads the device image afresh, and restarts the device. Else, the command will not come into effect.

Examples

This example shows how to increase MPLS per path statistics collection to more than 4K IPv4 IGP (LDP/SR) counters:

Router(config)# hw-module profile cef stats label app-default dynamic
..
Router# reload

mpls label range

To configure the dynamic range of local labels available for use on packet interfaces, use the mpls label range command in global configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

mpls label range table table-id minimum maximum

Syntax Description

table table-id

Identifies a specific label table; the global label table has table-id = 0. If no table is specified, the global table is assumed. Currently, you can specify table 0 only.

minimum

Smallest allowed label in the label space. Default is 16000.

maximum

Largest allowed label in the label space. Default is 1048575.

Command Default

table-id : 0

minimum : 16000

maximum : 1048575

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 7.0.12

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

After configuring the mpls label range command, restart the router for the configuration to take effect.

The label range defined by the mpls label range command is used by all MPLS applications that allocate local labels (for dynamic label switching Label Distribution Protocol [LDP], MPLS traffic engineering, and so on).

Labels 0 through 15 are reserved by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) (see the draft-ietf-mpls-label-encaps-07.txt for details) and cannot be included in the range using the mpls label range command.

Labels 16 through 15999 are reserved for Layer 2 VPN static pseudowires. You should not configure Layer 2 VPN static pseudowires which fall within the dynamic range. If more Layer 2 VPN static pseudowires are required, restrict the dynamic label range using this configuration.


Note

  • Labels outside the current range and which are allocated by MPLS applications remain in circulation until released.

  • You must understand the maximum labels that are supported for each platform versus the labels that are supported for the CLI.



Note

Restart the router after changing the mpls label range.

Field

Description

Tunnel

Short form of tunnel interface name.

Out intf/label

Out interface

Short name of the physical interface through which traffic goes to the protected link.

Out label

At a tunnel head, this is the label that the tunnel destination device advertises. The value “Unlabeled” indicates that no such label is advertised.

At a tunnel midpoint, this is the label selected by the next hop device. The value “Pop Label” indicates that the next hop is the final hop for the tunnel.
