newbie--mpls configurations

[NewToo]

Hello All,

Just am new at MPLS. But my question is: does anyone has an sample of a simple MPLS static route not OSPF/BGP/IS-IS configuation? Our company has 4 remote site that we are going to switch to mpls.

Thanks

MPLS is only a layer 2 (well perhaps layer 2.5 I suppose) technology. IP is layer 3 which basically means you configure a static route exactly the same way on a Cisco whether it be for MPLS, Frame Relay or ATM for example.

Assuming your MPLS WAN interface is Serial0/0, just create a static route as follows:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0/0

KiscoKid,

Thanks for the reply. Do i have to enable MPLS my Serial interface then?

Thanks

No not at all. Your device is designated as a CE (customer edge) device. CE's don't need to be MPLS-enabled to connect to an MPLS network. All the fancy MPLS labelling etc is done at the PE (provider edge) devices which are under your ISP's control.
