1. Getting Started

1.1. 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.

The topics and commands described in this document apply to the:

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

Table 1 lists the available chassis types for each SR OS router.

Table 1:   Supported SR OS Router Chassis Types 

7450 ESS

7750 SR

7950 XRS

  1. 7450 ESS-6/6v
  2. 7450 ESS-7/12 running in standard mode (not mixed-mode)
  1. 7450 ESS-7/12 running in mixed-mode (not standard mode)
  2. 7750 SR-a4/a8
  3. 7750 SR-c4/c12
  4. 7750 SR-1e/2e/3e
  5. 7750 SR-7/12
  6. 7750 SR-12e
  1. 7950 XRS-16c
  2. 7950 XRS-20/40

For a list of unsupported features by platform and chassis, refer to the SR OS R14.0.Rx Software Release Notes, part number 3HE10818 000x TQZZA.

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

Note:

This guide generically covers Release 14.0 content and may contain some content that will be released in later maintenance loads. Please refer to the SR OS R14.0.Rx Software Release Notes, part number 3HE10818 000x TQZZA, for information on features supported in each load of the Release 14.0 software.

1.2. Nokia Router Configuration Process

Table 2 lists the tasks necessary to configure MPLS applications functions.

This guide is presented in an overall logical configuration flow. Each section describes a software area and provides CLI syntax and command usage to configure parameters for a functional area.
