Finding Feature Information
Your software release might not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see the Bug Search Tool at https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/ and the release notes for your software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the "New and Changed Information" chapter or the Feature History table below.
Information About the MPLS Feature Set
MPLS functionality is grouped into a feature set. A feature set is a collection of components that performs a specific set of functions. You must install and enable the MPLS feature set before you can configure the components that make up the feature set. To do so, follow the instructions in this chapter before configuring the other MPLS components documented in this guide.

Licensing Requirements for the MPLS Feature Set

Chapter 2 Configuring the MPLS Feature Set

Licensing Requirements for the MPLS Feature Set

Product Cisco NX-OS

License Requirement
MPLS requires an MPLS license. For a complete explanation of the Cisco NX-OS licensing scheme and how to obtain and apply licenses, see the Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide.

Prerequisites for the MPLS Feature Set
The MPLS feature set has the following prerequisites: · You must install an MPLS license before you can enable and configure any features that belong to
the MPLS feature set.

Guidelines and Limitations for the MPLS Feature Set
The MPLS feature set has the following configuration guidelines and limitations:
· You must install the MPLS feature set in the default VDC before you can enable the feature set in any VDC (including the default VDC).
· The MPLS feature set operation might cause the standby supervisor to reload if it is in an unstable state, such as following a service failure or powering up. You can check whether the standby supervisor is stable with the show system redundancy ha status command, which shows the high-availability state for all VDCs. When the standby supervisor is stable, it is indicated as "HA standby."

Default Settings for the MPLS Feature Set

Table 2-1 lists the default settings for the MPLS feature set parameters.

Chapter 2 Configuring the MPLS Feature Set

Configuring the MPLS Feature Set

Installing the MPLS Feature Set

You must install the MPLS feature set in the default VDC.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you are in the default VDC.

SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal 2. [no] install feature-set mpls 3. (Optional) show feature-set

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Command
configure terminal

Purpose Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2 Step 3

Example: switch# configure terminal switch(config)#

[no] install feature-set mpls

Installs the MPLS feature set in the default VDC.

Example:

Note

switch(config)# install feature-set mpls

Use the no form of this command to uninstall the MPLS feature set. You cannot uninstall the feature set if it is enabled in any VDC.

show feature-set
Example: switch(config)# show feature-set

(Optional) Displays the status of the MPLS feature set on the device.

Enabling the MPLS Feature Set
You can enable the installed MPLS feature set in any VDC on the device.
Prerequisites Ensure that you have installed the MPLS feature set in the default VDC. Ensure that you are in the correct VDC or use the switchto vdc command.
SUMMARY STEPS 1. configure terminal 2. [no] feature-set mpls 3. (Optional) show feature-set

Configuring the MPLS Feature Set

Chapter 2 Configuring the MPLS Feature Set

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Command
configure terminal

Step 2

Example: switch# configure terminal switch(config)#
[no] feature-set mpls

Example: switch(config)# feature-set mpls

Step 3 show feature-set
Example: switch(config)# show feature-set

Purpose Enters global configuration mode.
Enables the MPLS feature set. Note The feature set must be installed before it
shows as an option to this command.
Note Use the no form of this command to disable the MPLS feature set. This command might take some time to complete if the size of the configuration is very large. The command must clean up all of the configurations associated with the MPLS feature set.
(Optional) Displays the status of the MPLS feature set on the device.

Allowing the MPLS Feature Set in a VDC
By default, the installed MPLS feature set is allowed in all VDCs on the device. You can disallow the installed MPLS feature set in a specific VDC, and you can subsequently allow that disallowed MPLS feature set in the VDC.
Prerequisites
Ensure that you have installed the MPLS feature set in the default VDC.
SUMMARY STEPS 1. configure terminal 2. vdc vdc-id 3. [no] allow feature-set mpls

Chapter 2 Configuring the MPLS Feature Set

Verifying the MPLS Feature Set Configuration

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Command
configure terminal

Step 2

Example: switch# configure terminal switch(config)#
vdc vdc-id

Step 3

Example: switch(config)# vdc 1 switch(config-vdc)#
[no] allow feature-set mpls

Example: switch(config-vdc)# allow feature-set mpls

Purpose Enters global configuration mode.
Specifies a VDC and enters VDC configuration mode.
Allows the MPLS feature set in the VDC. Note Use the no form of this command to disallow the
MPLS feature set in the VDC. You cannot disallow the MPLS feature set if it is enabled in the specified VDC.

Verifying the MPLS Feature Set Configuration
To display the MPLS feature set configuration, perform one of the following tasks:

Command show feature-set
show feature-set services mpls

Purpose
Displays the status of the feature sets on the device.
Displays the services used by the MPLS feature set.

For detailed information about the fields in the output from these commands, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS MPLS Command Reference.

Configuration Examples for the MPLS Feature Set
The following example shows how to install and enable the MPLS feature set in the default VDC on the device:
switch# configure terminal switch(config)# install feature-set mpls switch(config)# feature-set mpls switch(config)# exit switch#

Chapter 2 Configuring the MPLS Feature Set

The following example shows how to install the MPLS feature set on the device and then switch to a VDC and enable the feature set in that VDC:
switch# configure terminal switch(config)# install feature-set mpls switch(config)# exit switch# switchto vdc vdc1 switch-vdc1# configure terminal switch-vdc1(config)# feature-set mpls switch-vdc1(config)# switchback switch#

Note Instead of the switchto command, you can use the ssh command to connect to the management port of the VDC.

The following example shows how to display the status of the feature sets on the device:

switch# show feature-set

Feature Set Name

ID

State

-------------------- -------- ----------

fcoe

The following example shows how to display the services used by the MPLS feature set:
switch# show feature-set services mpls ulib rsvp mpls_te mpls_oam mpls ldp 6 services in feature set mpls switch#
