Introduction

Application example

Consider following setup:


IP Connectivity and LDP


R1

ether1 connects to R2, ether2 connects to R5

/system identity set name=R1
/interface bridge add name=lo0

/ip address
add address=192.168.55.1/30 interface=ether1
add address=192.168.55.18/30 interface=ether2
add address=10.255.1.1/32 interface=lo0 

/routing ospf instance 
set default router-id=10.255.1.1

/routing ospf network
add network=192.168.55.0/24 area=backbone
add network=10.255.1.0/24 area=backbone

/mpls ldp 
set enabled=yes lsr-id=10.255.1.1 transport-address=10.255.1.1

/mpls ldp interface
add interface=ether1
add interface=ether2


R2

ether1 connects to R1, ether2 connects to R3

/system identity set name=R2
/interface bridge add name=lo0
/ip address
add address=192.168.55.2/30 interface=ether1
add address=192.168.55.5/30 interface=ether2
add address=10.255.1.2/32 interface=lo0
/routing ospf instance 
set default router-id=10.255.1.2
/routing ospf network
add network=192.168.55.0/24 area=backbone
add network=10.255.1.0/24 area=backbone
/mpls ldp 
set enabled=yes lsr-id=10.255.1.2 transport-address=10.255.1.2
/mpls ldp interface
add interface=ether1
add interface=ether2


R3

ether1 connects to R2, ether2 connects to R4

/system identity set name=R3
/interface bridge add name=lo0
/ip address
add address=192.168.55.6/30 interface=ether1
add address=192.168.55.9/30 interface=ether2
add address=10.255.1.3/32 interface=lo0
/routing ospf instance 
set default router-id=10.255.1.3
/routing ospf network
add network=192.168.55.0/24 area=backbone
add network=10.255.1.0/24 area=backbone
/mpls ldp 
set enabled=yes lsr-id=10.255.1.3 transport-address=10.255.1.3
/mpls ldp interface
add interface=ether1
add interface=ether2


R4

ether1 connects to R3, ether2 connects to R5

/system identity set name=R4
/interface bridge add name=lo0
/ip address
add address=192.168.55.10/30 interface=ether1
add address=192.168.55.13/30 interface=ether2
add address=10.255.1.4/32 interface=lo0
/routing ospf instance 
set default router-id=10.255.1.4
/routing ospf network
add network=192.168.55.0/24 area=backbone
add network=10.255.1.0/24 area=backbone
/mpls ldp 
set enabled=yes lsr-id=10.255.1.4 transport-address=10.255.1.4
/mpls ldp interface
add interface=ether1
add interface=ether2


R5

ether1 connects to R4, ether2 connects to R1

/system identity set name=R5
/interface bridge add name=lo0
/ip address
add address=192.168.55.14/30 interface=ether1
add address=192.168.55.17/30 interface=ether2
add address=10.255.1.5/32 interface=lo0
/routing ospf instance 
set default router-id=10.255.1.5
/routing ospf network
add network=192.168.55.0/24 area=backbone
add network=10.255.1.0/24 area=backbone
/mpls ldp 
set enabled=yes lsr-id=10.255.1.5 transport-address=10.255.1.5
/mpls ldp interface
add interface=ether1
add interface=ether2

After OSPF and LDP setup ensure that ospf is working properly

VPLS tunnel

ether4 goes to CE routers

R1

/interface bridge add name=vpn
/interface vpls 
add remote-peer=10.255.1.3 vpls-id=3:3
/interface bridge port
add interface=ether4 bridge=vpn
add interface=vpls1 bridge=vpn

R3

/interface bridge add name=vpn
/interface vpls 
add remote-peer=10.255.1.1 vpls-id=3:3
/interface bridge port
add interface=ether4 bridge=vpn
add interface=vpls1 bridge=vpn

Make sure that VPLS tunnel is established and running

[admin@R1] /interface vpls> monitor 0 once 
       remote-label: 23
        local-label: 23
      remote-status: 
          transport: 10.255.1.3/32
  transport-nexthop: 192.168.55.2
     imposed-labels: 21,23
[admin@R1] /interface vpls>

TE Support

Traffic engineering needs RSVP protocol enabled on head end, tail end and forwarding routers. And additional setup to use CSPF.

In our example all routers have the same configuration:

# set up CSPF
/routing ospf instance
set default mpls-te-area=backbone mpls-te-router-id=lo0

# add interfaces on which to run RSVP
/mpls traffic-eng interface
add interface=ether1 bandwidth=10Mbps
add interface=ether2 bandwidth=10Mbps
