MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a high-performance telecommunications technology that directs data from one network node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding complex lookups in a routing table. It efficiently speeds up the forwarding of network packets and enables traffic engineering, allowing for optimized utilization of network resources. MPLS is commonly used in large-scale networks, such as those operated by internet service providers (ISPs) and large enterprises, to provide quality of service (QoS), traffic engineering, and virtual private network (VPN) services.

In this tutorial, we will show you the configuration of mpls on huawei device

# Enter system view

 Router# system-view 

# Enable MPLS globally on the router

[Router] mpls 

# Configure MPLS on the interfaces connecting to other routers

[Router] interface interface-port
[Router-interface] mpls 

# Enable Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) for label distribution

 [Router] mpls ldp
[Router-mpls-ldp] commit 

# Optionally, enable traffic engineering to optimize network resources

 [Router] mpls te 

# Configure MPLS VPN (if needed)

 [Router] ip vpn-instance vrf_name
[Router-vpn-instance-vrf_name] ipv4-family
[Router-vpn-instance-vrf_name-ipv4] route-distinguisher route_distinguisher
[Router-vpn-instance-vrf_name-ipv4] vpn-target rt_export rt_import 

[Router] mpls cef 

# Configure the routing protocol to use MPLS

[Router] router routing_protocol
[Router-routing_protocol] mpls 

# Optionally, configure MPLS TE tunnels

[Router] interface tunnel tunnel_number
[Router-Tunnel-number] mpls te
[Router-Tunnel-number] destination destination_ip

Conclusion

Congratulations! you have successfully configured the on huawei device. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.
