Configuring the MPLS LSR ID

The MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) LSR ID must be configured before MPLS can be used. The address chosen must be a routable IP address on the switch. It is suggested that this be set to the same IP address as a routing protocol ID (for example, the OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) Router ID).

To configure the MPLS LSR ID, use the following command:
configure mpls lsr-id ipaddress
Note

Note

The MPLS LSR ID must be configured before MPLS can be enabled. The LSR ID should be configured on a loopback VLAN (Virtual LAN).
