Subject: MPLS on Linux
Hi
I am a new comer to MPLS and using linux box with kernel 2.4.1 and
mpls-0.990 installed on it.
My problem is that I did try couple of options to enable mpls label
generation on the linux box but seems not working properly.
Here is the scenerio ;
I just want one linux box to work as an LSR initially, with ports eth1 &
eth2 connected with some testing device i.e Ixia or Smartbit two ports.Ixia
Port 2-01 will act as an Ingress Router(Simulated) and Port2-02 as an Egress
Router.
Ixia Port 2-01.........192.168.100.3 connected with Linux box(LSR) through
eth1 having IP address....192.168.100.1
Ixia Port 2-02.........192.168.200.3 connected with Linux box(LSR) through
eth2 having IP address....192.168.200.1
I have configured Ixia properly.
I did following on linux box ;
mplsadm -v -A -B -O gen:16:eth1:ipv4:192.168.100.3 -f 192.168.100.3/32
mplsadm -v -A -B -O gen:17:eth2:ipv4:192.168.200.3 -f 192.168.200.3/32
mplsadm -v -L eth1:0
mplsadm -v -L eth2:0
I am using Ethereal on linux box and when ping the Ixia ports, can only see
RSVP Peth message frames and RSVP Recv frames.
Moreover,how can I verify if the linux box's interfaces are configured with
MPLS properly ?Please guide me(if Ixia box is confusing anybody,then just
guide me
if I am wrong in configuring an LSR to enable label generation only)
I just want you to please confirm if I configured linux box properly for
mpls labels generation.I will appreciate your prompt response with thanks in
advance.
