After all IGP (interior gateway protocol, OSPF) run on all routers, and each router know each other end to end, the next step is to implement MPLS feature. Kindly remember that MPLS is just a feature, it is NOT a new routing protocol. This feature is used so each router can exchange packets based on label, not IP Lookup anymore.
To enable MPLS feature on the routers (P & PE), the step-by-step needs to be done are:
Enable cef (cisco express forwarding), forwarding feature from cisco
Define Label Protocol that will be used. There are 3 protocols in here, first on is LSP (static Label Switched Path), LDP (Label Distribution Protocol, dynamic, the LDP path follows IGP (OSPF)), and the last one is RSVP (Reservation Protocol), used to manipulate standard path by LDP, usually RSVP used to maximize unused path in IGP or Traffic Engineering purpose.
Define router-id that will be used by LDP, the loopback IP address usually used by router-id, because loopback interface is stable, and never down. Make sure this loopback ip can be reached from all routers.
The last one, enable MPLS on each backbone interface.
Detail commands can be described below :
ip cef (to enable cisco express forwarding)
mpls label protocol ldp (enable ldp protocol)
mpls ldp router-id loopback 0 force (use loopback as router-id)
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
no shutdown
mpls ip (enable mpls feature on the interface)

Don’t forget to save router configuration by typing :
“copy running-config startup-config”.
Verify configuration : from privileged mode, type “show run”, check on the interface, make sure all configuration were entered.
Verify mpls interface, make sure operational, and use LDP protocol.
Next one, check to the neighbor by typing “show mpls ldp neighbor”, make sure neighbor LDP is running. Can be checked from uptime, state, message sent-received
After that, check the forwarding table, from here we can see the the label routing process (pop, swap, push), next hop, and the outgoing interface.
The last step is lsp ping & trace, is a function to do ping & trace based on LSP (Label Switched Path) that already generated.
By this LSP trace & ping feature, we can know the hop that passed by MPLS labels.
In this part, we will discuss about services that run on MPLS, it is VPN (Virtual Private Network). With this VPN service, allowing IP reuse in the MPLS cloud without crashing each others.
The VPN services in MPLS globally divided by 2 types, there are:
1. L2VPN (Layer 2 Virtual Private Network)
2. L3VPN (Layer 3 Virtual Private Network).
1. L2VPN › L2VPN is a private layer 2 virtual network,
where it looks like CE were connected each other directly. So it is possible to allow of using the same subnet between CE.
2. L3VPN › L3VPN is a private layer 3 virtual network, that
run under layer 3, where PE router in service provider side also do routing towards client.
L2VPN
The L2VPN service itself were divided to 2 types::
VLL (Virtual Leased Line) or usually known as Atom (Any Transport to MPLS), or Pseudowire Service
VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service)
VLL base is Point to Point, so when VLL service created, there will be only 2 points, it’s near end & far end. VLL also can emulate E1 interface, SDH, Serial, etc into MPLS.

PE PE

10.10.10.1/30 10.10.10.1/30
In VLL service, PE Router only works as Tunnel Provider between CE in the different VPN services.
IP reuse can be used in VLL service, where it looks like between CE were in the same subnet, connected directly without knowing that PE router were in the middle of the connection.
VPLS connection can be Point to Point, or Point to Multipoint, so when VPLS service were created, it can be configured one point as the main center, and the other point as distribution link.
In this VPLS service, PE Router act as same as VLL services, but in this case, PE can do lot more Peering, so it can create multipoint cloud. IP reuse also can be implemented between CE. Where it looks like between CE were in the same subnet, connected directly without knowing that PE router were in the middle of the connection.
L3VPN or in other word VPRN (Virtual Private Routed Network) is a layer 3 virtual private networks. Where PE router in the Service Provider network also do routing towards client. So each PE-CE connection needs its own IP block.

Unlike the two previous services, on VPRN, PE router act as default gateway for each CE, so CE can communicate with other cloud. This system usually called as VRF (Virtual Router Forwarding). IP also can be used and not crashed each others because each service run on different VRF (Virtual Routing Forwarding).

IT OSS team were doing some DRC (Disaster Recovery Center) implementation trial for their Database Server.
There are 2 servers in the Tangerang and Banjarmasin that needs to be connected and synchronize data realtime.
Server act as main & backup, main side served by Tangerang, and backup side in Banjarmasin.
Banjarmasin were chosen as backup because the city doesn’t have disaster history so it is very eligible to act as backup center.
Service that they want is VLL.
IP block that will be used : Point to Point 172.16.1.0/30.

We do configuration only at the PEs, because P Router doesn’t have any services and P Router only do label swapping process.
Command needs to be added to interface towards server xconnect x.x.x.x yyy encapsulation

x.x.x.x = Target PE ip address
yyyy = virtual circuit number, must be unique and different on each customer/service

Make sure correct peering on both side, and make sure all the status is up on each PE router by typing “show mpls l2transport vc 100”
With command “show mpls l2transport vc 100 detail”, we can check status, incoming and outgoing packets from the VLL Service
After verification passed, try to ping from Server#1 to Server#2 and vice versa.

3 NMS servers on different location (Surabaya, Malang, Madiun) needs to be connected each other. To allow single subnet usage, the connection should be based on Layer 2 so there is no routing needed to reach each others.
The user request VPLS technology to reach this goal.
The user ask to create full meshed point to multipoint to provide layer 2 redundancy.
IP Block that will be used is 172.16.1.0/24
From requirement above, team will alocate 1 port Fast-Ethernet in the router to connect to each NMS Server

ABC Corporate Networks needs to be connected each others. from Bekasi, Bogor, and Tangerang branch.
Each location have different network address.
Bekasi = 192.168.1.0/24
Bogor = 192.168.2.0/24
Tangerang = 192.168.3.0/24
The user request VPRN technology to allow each network to reach others.
PE-CE Point to Point IP that will be used are :
1. PE-CE Bekasi = 172.16.1.0/30
2. PE-CE Bogor = 172.16.1.4/30
3. PE-CE Tangerang = 172.16.1.8/30
From requirement above, team will alocate 1 port Fast-Ethernet in the router to connect to each NMS Server.
We wont use PEBTNTGR01 Fa0/0 because already used by VLL case before.

There are 5 steps to configure VPRN services on cisco router:
1. Configure VRF, RD & RT
2. Configure BGP neighborship between each service
3. Configure MP-BGP to allow each VRF communicate each other
4. Import/redistribute routing (if any configured)
5. Apply VRF to desired interface
ip vrf xxx : vrf name, locally significant rd : route distinguisher, process id for vrf
name above, locally significant rt : route target, process id to be exported &
imported through network

BGP Neighborship is needed to allow MP-BGP* communicate to each other and pass ip vrf through networks.
*MP-BGP = Multi Protocol BGP, extension of BGP Protocol
BGP Number : 0 & 65535 = reserved, asn 0 for non-routed networks 64496-64511 = reserved for use in documentation
and sample code. 64512-65534 = private purpose Others = Assigned by IANA (www.iana.org)

Because in this case we use static route, we also need to add static route in VRF to allow PE know the networks behind CE.
PEJBRBKS01, PEJBRBGR01, PEBTNTGR01 :
ip route vrf ABC_CORP 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.2
ip route vrf ABC_CORP 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.6
ip route vrf ABC_CORP 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.10
Last thing, configure interface where we will attach vrf. PEJBRBKS01

Make sure VRF peering is up and recognized, and VRF ip routing is shown up in the PE.
Use command “show ip route vrf ABC_CORP”
On CE side, configure IP address to Service Provider and to LAN.
