Re: [mpls-linux-general] activate label

[sanjeev r. <san...@li...>]

Thank you for ur response James,

Ur explanation cleared my doubts regarding the activation of labels.. Howev=
er, i would like to know=20
if the LSP will be activated [I mean to say traffic will be forwared] when =
label binding[installation in to the forwarding plane] is done at the switc=
h level.
Or is there any way i can bind the label at the switch level but still keep=
 it inactive? and i can activate it to=20
forward traffic at a later time?

Thanks in advance...
With best regards,
Sanjeev R
