About This Guide

This guide describes the services and protocol support provided by the router and presents examples to configure and implement MPLS, RSVP, and LDP protocols.

This guide is organized into functional chapters and provides concepts and descriptions of the implementation flow, as well as Command Line Interface (CLI) syntax and command usage.

Unless otherwise specified, the topics and commands described in this document apply to the:

  1. 7450 ESS
  2. 7750 SR
  3. 7950 XRS

7450 ESS applicability statements refer to the 7450 ESS when it is not running in mixed mode. 7750 SR applicability statements refer to the 7750 SR-7/12, 7750 SR-12e, 7750 SRa4/a8 and 7750 SR-e1/e2/e3 platforms unless otherwise specified.

Command outputs shown in this guide are examples only; actual displays may differ depending on supported functionality and user configuration.
