MPLS Static Commands

address family ipv4 unicast (mpls-static)

To enable static MPLS label binding on a specific IPv4 unicast destination address prefix and on the forwarding next-hop address, use the address-family ipv4 unicast command in MPLS static configuration mode. To remove MPLS static binding, use the no form of this command.

address-family ipv4 unicast local-label label_value allocate [per-prefix ipv4_prefix_value] forward path path_value nexthop nexthop_information interface-type interface-path-id out-label {label_value | pop | exp-null}

no address-family ipv4 unicast

Syntax Description

local-label label_value

Specifies MPLS local-label value for static binding and forwarding. The range is from 16 to 1048575.

allocate

Displays local-label allocation options.

per-prefix ipv4_prefix_value

Specifies IPv4 prefix value to which the specified MPLS label will be statically bound.

forward

Configure forwarding for traffic with static MPLS label.

path path-value

Specifies path-ID for MPLS cross-connect path.

nexthop nexthop_information

Specifies the next-hop information that is either an IP address or interface.

interface-type interface-id

Interface type. For more information, use the question mark (?) online help function.

out-label label_value

Specifies mpls local-label value for static binding on the egress packet.

pop

Removes label from egress packet.

exp-null

Applies explicit null label on the egress packet.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mpls-static)#address-family ipv4 unicast

clear mpls static local-label discrepancy

To clear any discrepancy between statically allocated and dynamically allocated local labels, use the clear mpls static local-label discrepancy command. A label discrepancy is generated when:

  • A static label is configured for an IP prefix (per VRF) that already has a binding with a dynamic label.

  • A static label is configured for an IP prefix, when the same label value is dynamically allocated to another IP prefix.

clear mpls static local-label discrepancy {label-value | all}

Syntax Description

label-value

A value that denotes the label for which the discrepancies are cleared.

all

Specifies that all discrepancies are cleared.

interface (mpls-static)

To enable MPLS encapsulation on specified interfaces, use the interface command in MPLS static configuration mode. To disable MPLS encapsulation on specified interfaces, use the no form of the command.

show mpls static local-label

To display information about local labels allocated using mpls static command, use the show mpls static local-label command in EXEC mode.

show mpls static local-label {label-value | all | discrepancy | error | vrf {vrf-name | default} {all | discrepancy | error}} [detail]

Syntax Description

local-label label-value

Specifies local label value to display MPLS static information for only that label.

all

Displays MPLS static information about all local labels.

discrepancy

Displays label discrepancy between static labels and dynamic labels.

error

Displays MPLS static labeling errors.

vrf vrf-name

Specifies VRF name to display MPLS static information specific to that VRF.

default

Displays MPLS static information for the default VRF.

detail

(Optional) Detailed information is displayed.
