enable mpls

Description

Enables MPLS on the switch.

This command has no arguments or variables.

Disabled.

Enabling MPLS allows MPLS processing to begin for any enabled MPLS protocols (RSVP-TE and/or LDP).

While MPLS is transitioning to the enabled state, only the MPLS show commands are accepted.

Before you can enable MPLS on BlackDiamond 8800 series switches, the switch must meet the following requirements:

Each switch requires the specific software and hardware listed in the Feature License Requirements document.
You must configure the enhanced stacking protocol on the switch.
If unsupported modules are installed in the switch, we recommend that you remove them and unconfigure the appropriate slots using the unconfigure slot command before enabling MPLS. You cannot enable MPLS until the appropriate slots are empty or disabled with the disable slot command.
Note
When MPLS is enabled on a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch, you cannot enable any modules using the enable slot command that are incompatible with MPLS.

Before you can enable MPLS on a SummitStack, the stack must meet the following requirements:

Each stack switch must meet the software and hardware requirements listed in the Feature License Requirements document.
You must configure the enhanced stacking protocol on each Summit family switch.
Although you can mix Summit X460 switches with Summit X460-G2, X480, X670, X670-G2, and X770 series switches in a SummitStack, we recommend that you do not mix these switch types if the desired routing table exceeds the supported limit for the Summit X460 switch, which is 12,256 IPv4 LPM routes.
Note
When MPLS is enabled on a stack, you can only add a MPLS-compatible Summit family switches to the stack.

The following command globally enables MPLS on the switch:

enable mpls

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 11.6.

This command is available only on the platforms that support MPLS as described in the Feature License Requirements document.
