Nexus 7000 as MPLS Router

[rajeshrajan1]

Hi,

I see that the Nexus 7000 supports MPLS and can be deployed as a MPLS router. Has anyone done this deployment?

Does it support BGP with MPLS?

Thanks!

[Reza Sharifi]

Hi,

Yes, it does.  It supports MPLS/VPN and BGP.

Thanks Reza,

So it can support BGP or Multiprotocol Label Switching [MPLS] IP VPNs, as described in RFCs 2547 and 4364 like the 6500 and the ASR?

[Reza Sharifi]

That is correct.  It is just matter of having the license and turning on the each feature.

feature bgp

feature mpls

etc....

You also need to install and enable mpls feature-set

Here is the config guide:
