Currently I run a large scale Cisco Based MPLS based network supporting
multiple VPN's. We use 7206 VXR routers for the LSR/LER's
We use MP-BGP and tag-switching to communicate between each LSR as this
seems to be the only way to make it work large scale wise.
On the LER we use VRF's with Route Distinguisher's to adjoin each
interface to its corresponding VPN. This works quite affectively for us.
However we wish to use a linux box of some king and run monitoring
software to ping each end point of the VPN of multiple VPN's on a
regular basis.
To do this I believe I have to use MPLS/Zebra/LDP-portable and the
linux-vrf project. This will allow me to ping a remote address on each
VPN regularly.
However upon looking at this further, it seems that our cisco MPLS setup
now uses TDP instead of LDP, is there any support for TDP ? in the
current mpls project ?
Has anyone out there successfully interfaced a Cisco based MPLS based
network to linux-mpls project and been able to run pings across each and
any of the VPN's ? or use a linux box as a LER.
Any help would be very greatfull.
Thanks in advance.
