After MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is enabled globally, MPLS must be enabled on the MPLS configured VLAN (Virtual LAN)s. Configuring a VLAN for MPLS does not enable MPLS on the VLAN. The VLAN must be specifically MPLS enabled in order to send and receive MPLS packets over an interface.
MPLS must be enabled on all VLANs that transmit or receive MPLS-encapsulated frames. By default, MPLS and MPLS label distribution protocols are disabled when MPLS is first configured on a VLAN.
