Doubt with MPLS

[luis.veraza]

HI,

Actually we have all ours links with PPP and some with Frame Relay, now, we have a project, to emigrate to MPLS.

How can it impact my WAN ?

Best Regards, Luis.

Hi Luis,

You will have to make all your links mpls enabled by running the command: #ip mpls

and before that you will have to enable cef that is #ip cef (cisco express forwarding).

After enabling mpls its recommended if u implement QoS also to improve the performance of your network.

MPLS will impact your WAN links in a positive manner, as it can run on any protocol.

HI,

Ok, thanks.

We´ve configured QoS, because we are using VoIP.

Will be transparent for all it change ?

Best regards, Luis.

Pick up Cisco Press MPLS and VPN Architectures Vol 1 by Guichard and Pepelnjak; Don't know about Vol 2.

well, if you do not know about vsnl then you should go for cisco press material, all i can say is that after implementing mpls, performance will definitely increase.

and all you have to do initially is just type in #ip mpls.

good luck.

I think IMPLEMENTING MPLS VPNs is one of the best books I have ever seen.

Thanks
