This article uses LDP as RVSP-TE is shown in the previous MPLS ePipe article Setup LDP or RSVP-TE to signal the establishment of LSPs or Transport Tunnels.This can be achieved via OSPF or ISIS etc… Similar to the MPLS ePipe article, OSPF is used in this article Setup IP connectivity among the MPLS routers.Recall the steps to config any MPLS network services are: Unlike ePipe which is a layer 2 network service, VPRN is a layer 3 network service and thus PC77, PC88 and PC99 on different IP subnets should be able to ping to each others via the VPRN 200 if the setup is correct. Note that R7 and R8 are Nokia 7750 routers and R9 is a Cisco 7200 router.Ī VPRN 200 is setup on the three routers. The following shows the lab setup on GNS3 on the same Windows 10 PC used in the previous ePipe interop article.

This time, LDP and MP-BGP are used as the signalling protocols for establishing the MPLS Transport and Service Tunnels respectively for the layer 3 network service. In this article, I will show how to setup and test layer 3 MPLS VPRN network service between Nokia 7750 and Cisco 7200 again on GNS3. Since ePipe is a layer 2 network service, the virtual PCs connected at the two ends of the MPLS ePipe on GNS3 need to be on the same IP subnet in order for the PCs to ping to each other. RSVP-TE and TLDP are used as the signalling protocols to establish the MPLS Transport and Service Tunnels respectively for the MPLS ePipe service.

Because these are modified for virtual environment. So these will not work on hardware machine. NOTE: These all below IOS are specifically designed and modified for GNS3 and EVE-NG. If you want to download Cisco switch IOS or IOU / IOL images: These all IOS are tested in eve-ng and GNS3 and working. Below is the list of all Cisco routers and hybrid routers which contains the ability of both switching and routing.
