Juniper MPLS Best Practice

Part 1
Static LSP Configuration and understanding mpls.0 table

Febrian Setiadi - 860063

What is MPLS?
• Forwarding technique using label value
• “Virtual Circuit” for IP
▫ Unidirectional path
▫ Tunel through the network
• Mapping IP Prefixes to LSPs
• Labels are placed between L2 header and L2
data
• Label stacking is possible
Lab Topology

Loopbacks

Jakarta : 192.168.8.1
Bandung : 192.168.12.1
Semarang : 192.168.16.1
Surabaya : 192.168.36.1
Denpasar : 192.168.40.1
Makasar : 192.168.44.1
 IGP Configuration
• After IGP already converged, we’re ready to configure static LSP

jkt@Lab:Jakarta> show configuration protocols ospf

area 0.0.0.0 {
interface all;
}
smg@Lab:Semarang> show configuration protocols ospf
area 0.0.0.0 {
interface all; Preconfigured
}
sby@Lab:Surabaya> show configuration protocols ospf with OSPF, all
area 0.0.0.0 { routers belong
interface all;
} to area 0
bdg@Lab:Bandung> show configuration protocols ospf
area 0.0.0.0 {
interface all;
}
dps@Lab:Denpasar> show configuration protocols ospf
area 0.0.0.0 {
interface all;
}
mks@Lab:Makasar> show configuration protocols ospf
area 0.0.0.0 {
interface all;
}
 LSP Configuration
• We’ll setup LSP from Jakarta to Makasar, via Semarang, Surabaya and Makasar

• And returning LSP path from Makasar to Jakarta via Denpasar and Bandung
 LSP Configuration

Jakarta performs label imposition (PUSH) , this label should be received by Semarang

jkt@Lab:Jakarta> show
configuration protocols mpls
static-path inet {
192.168.44.1/32 {
next-hop 10.0.11.1;
push 1000001;
}
}
interface all;
 LSP Configuration

Semarang performs label swapping 1000001 with 1000002

smg@Lab:Semarang> show What’s on mpls.0 table

configuration protocols mpls
smg@Lab:Semarang> show route table mpls.0
interface all; mpls.0: 4 destinations, 4 routes (4 active, 0 holddown, 0
interface em1.11 { hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both
label-map 1000001 { 0 *[MPLS/0] 01:51:53, metric 1

} Receive
1000001 *[Static/5] 01:51:53
} > to 10.0.0.2 via em1.0, Swap 1000002
 LSP Configuration

Surabaya performs label swapping 100002 with 100003

What’s on mpls.0 table

sby@Lab:Surabaya> show
configuration protocols mpls sby@Lab:Surabaya> show route table mpls.0
mpls.0: 4 destinations, 4 routes (4 active, 0 holddown, 0
interface all; hidden)

interface em2.0 {
0 *[MPLS/0] 02:07:58, metric 1
label-map 1000002 { Receive
1 *[MPLS/0] 02:07:58, metric 1
next-hop 10.0.4.2; Receive
2 *[MPLS/0] 02:07:58, metric 1
swap 1000003; Receive
1000002 *[Static/5] 01:56:46
} > to 10.0.4.2 via em1.4, Swap 1000003

}
 LSP Configuration

Denpasar performs label swapping 1000003 with 0  Penultimate Hop Popping

What’s on mpls.0 table

dps@Lab:Denpasar> show route table mp
dps@Lab:Denpasar> show mpls.0: 6 destinations, 6 routes (6 active, 0 holddown, 0
hidden)
configuration protocols mpls + = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

Receive
interface em1.60 { 1 *[MPLS/0] 02:19:06, metric 1
label-map 1000003 { 2
Receive

 LSP Configuration
• Reachability from Jakarta
jkt@Lab:Jakarta> show route 192.168.44.1
