MPLS CPE Configuration

Curiosityx · 12 Dec 2007 at 16:47

Greetings, im looking for someone who has had experience of configuring MPLS at the customer premises on Cisco Routers.

I understand how MPLS works in the cloud and that it's a private service but haven't had a chance to configure it on multiple routers at different sites.

Does an MPLS service use private IP addressing or does the service provider assign you a public address block per site?

If anyone has an example config files it would be a great help.

Cheers

MPLS would be transparent to the end user dependant on what type of MPLS service you had signed up to.

Indeed but im trying to understand how i would configure a router to connect into the cloud at a customer site.

well it really depends on the provider to some extent, but unless you work for the provider you wouldn't ever really expect to be doing this....

Unfortunately not ill be involved with deploying the equipment at the customer site as part of a distributed Cisco Call Manager proposal.
