Selecting MPLS VPN Services
Selecting MPLS VPN Services helps you analyze migration options, anticipate migration issues, and properly deploy IP/MPLS VPNs. Detailed configurations illustrate effective deployment while case studies present available migration options and walk you through the process of selecting the best option for your network.
Selecting MPLS VPN Services By Chris Lewis and Steve Pickavance
By Ivan Pepelnjak, Jim Guichard, and Jeff Apcar
Understand the business case for deploying MPLS-based services and solutions
- Provides network managers and architects a precise MPLS primer
- Defines MPLS service problems and their associated solutions
- Includes ROI models for MPLS-based solutions
- Discusses pros and cons of various options for each MPLS service
MPLS
Traditional IP networks are connectionless: when a packet is received, the router determines the next hop using the destination IP address on the packet alongside information from its own forwarding table. The router's forwarding tables contain information on the network topology. They use an IP routing protocol, such as OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, RIP or static configuration, to keep their information synchronized with changes in the network.
MPLS also uses IP addresses, either v4 or v6, to identify end points and intermediate switches and routers. This makes MPLS networks IP-compatible and easily integrated with traditional IP networks. However, unlike traditional IP, MPLS flows are connection-oriented and packets are routed along pre-configured Label Switched Paths (LSPs).
How does MPLS work?
A different label is used for each hop, and it is chosen by the router or switch performing the forwarding operation. This allows the use of very fast and simple forwarding engines, as the router can select the label to minimize processing.
Ingress routers at the edge of the MPLS network use the packet's destination address to determine which LSP to use. Inside the network, the MPLS routers use only the LSP labels to forward the packet to the egress router.

In the diagram above, LSR (Label Switched Router) A uses the destination IP address on each packet to select the LSP, which determines the next hop and initial label for each packet (21 and 17). When LSR B receives the packets, it uses these labels to identify the LSPs, from which it determines the next hops (LSRs D and C) and labels (47 and 11). The egress routers (LSRs D and C) strip off the final label and route the packet out of the network.
As MPLS uses only the label to forward packets, it is protocol-independent, hence the term "Multi-Protocol" in MPLS. Packet forwarding has been defined for all types of layer-2 link technologies, with a different label encoding used in each case.
MPLS Protocols
MPLS defines only the forwarding mechanism; it uses other protocols to establish the LSPs. Two separate protocols are needed to perform this task: a routing protocol and a signaling protocol.
MPLS Routing Protocols:
The routing protocol distributes network topology information through the network so that the LSP can be calculated. An interior gateway protocol, such as OSPF or IS-IS, is normally used, as MPLS networks typically cover a single administrative domain.
Mechanisms to extend this traffic engineering to inter-area and inter-carrier routing are still being agreed. Our White Paper on "Inter-Area Routing, Path Selection and Traffic Engineering" provides a detailed discussion of this topic.
MPLS Signaling Protocols
- RSVP-TE is used where traffic engineering is required. LDP is used when traffic engineering is not required, as it needs less management.
BGP is also used as a combined routing and MPLS signaling protocol in some situations. An example of this is BGP/MPLS VPNs.
Advanced MPLS Applications:
Optical MPLS
The concept of a label has been extended in Generalized MPLS (GMPLS). In GMPLS, the label no longer needs to be carried as an identifier on the data flow, but may be implicit. For example, time-slots (in SONET/SDH) and wavelengths (in DWDM) can be labels. In these cases, the label switching operations translate to operations such as "switch this incoming wavelength onto this outgoing wavelength."
GMPLS is therefore ideal for optical networking, and many extensions to the protocols have been defined, including user-to-network interfaces and network-to-network interfaces.
MPLS in Hierarchical Networks
MPLS is ideal for hierarchical networks, where lower-layer switching entities (for example packets) are aggregated into a higher-layer entity, for example a time-slot, and then once again into a wavelength and a whole fiber. MPLS allows a label stack to be defined so that switches can switch higher-layer aggregations and ignore the lower levels of the label stack. When the flow arrives at a switch capable of handling lower-layer entities, the switch strips off the outer label and examines the next lower level in the stack.

One example of the use of label stacking is in BGP/MPLS VPNs, where a two-deep label stack is used.
A transport label is used to route aggregated VPN traffic to the destination edge router in the provider's network. This is conventional MPLS, using either RSVP-TE or LDP signaling.
Once at the destination edge router, the transport label is stripped off and the second label examined. This label identifies the specific VPN to which the flow belongs. These VPN labels are signaled in extensions to the BGP protocol.

Cisco Router Password Recovery Procedure
-----------------------------------
Attach a terminal or PC with terminal emulation to the console port of the router. Use the following terminal settings:
9600 baud rate No parity 8 data bits 1 stop bit No flow control
Type show version and record the setting of the configuration register. Click here to see output of a show version command.
The configuration register setting is usually 0x2102 or 0x102.
Using the switch, turn off the router and then turn it on.
Press Break on the terminal keyboard within 60 seconds of the powerup to put the router into ROMMON.
If the break sequence doesn't work, try CTRL+BREAK or use the terminal program to send the break as an ascii code.
Type o/r 0x2142 at the > prompt to boot from Flash without loading the configuration.
Type i at the > prompt.
The router reboots but ignores its saved configuration.
Type no after each setup question or press Ctrl-C to skip the initial setup procedure.
Type enable at the Router> prompt.
You'll be in enable mode and see the Router# prompt.
Important Type config mem or copy start running to copy the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) into memory. Do not type config term.
Type wr term or show running.
The show running and wr term commands show the configuration of the router. In this configuration you see under all the interfaces the shutdown command, which means all interfaces are currently shutdown. Also, you can see the passwords either in encrypted or unencrypted format.
Type config term and make the changes.
The prompt is now hostname(config)#.
Type enable secret
Issue the no shutdown command on every interface that is used. If you issue a show ip interface brief command, every interface that you want to use should be "up up".
Type config-register 0x2102, or the value you recorded in step 2.
Press Ctrl-z to leave the configuration mode.
The prompt is now hostname#.
Type write mem or copy running startup to commit the changes.

Security Device Manager: Connecting with GUI
SDM has, by default, a one-time username and password set on a router. This one-time username/password combination is cisco/cisco. Plug your router’s first Fast Ethernet (or Gigabit Ethernet) port into a switch. Plug your PC into the same switch. Configure your PC’s IP address to be 10.10.10.2/29 (10.10.10.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.248). Open your PC’s Internet browser and enter the following command in the browser’s address bar: http://10.10.10.1/
NOTE: If you have begun your configuration through the CLI, as shown in the previous section, you need to set your PC’s address to 192.168.100.2/24 or something else in the 192.168.100.0/24 network. You cannot use 192.168.100.1/24 because that was the address you set on your router’s Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interface. You also use the username and password credentials that you have previously configured from the CLI, and not the default credentials
Figure 29-1 Connect to Router Challenge Window
NOTE: If you have already started your configuration from the CLI, you do not need to go through the next section.
SDM Express Wizard with No CLI Preconfiguration
If you are connecting to the router through the GUI and there is no configuration on the router, you are taken to the first screen of the Cisco SDM Express Wizard, shown in Figure 29-3. Click Next to continue, or click Cancel to exit the wizard.
