Re: [mpls-linux-general] [RE]Re: fc8.mpls 1.961 - iptables error : invalid argument,

[J. N. <oc...@gm...>]

I had that message to, I am  trying now with MPLS 1958 and kernel version
2.6.22.5 and have no errors, but you have to change command and doing in the
mangle table (-t mangle) like:

iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -m dscp --dscp 0x1a -j mpls --nhlfe $var1


regards
