Frame Mode MPLS

Scenario:

You are working as a network engineer at an ISP called "StoryTellers" and until now you have been responsible for the Frame-Relay network of this service provider. Since MPLS is becoming more popular every day, you are being moved from the Frame-Relay team to the MPLS team...you do need to upgrade your skills though, so it's time to start with a basic MPLS lab and see what it's all about.

Goal:

• All IP addresses are preconfigured as specified in the topology picture.
• Configure EIGRP AS 100 and advertise all networks, ensure you have full reachability.
• Perform a traceroute from Router Gepetto to the Loopback0 interface of Pinoccio. Take a good look at this trace so you can compare it to the MPLS traceroute (hint: copy/paste this information into notepad).
• Configure MPLS on all physical interfaces, do NOT configure MPLS on the loopback interfaces.
• Use the "show mpls ldp bindings" command to check what labels are being used for all networks.
• Are these labels the same or different on all routers? why?
• Perform a traceroute from Router Gepetto to Pinoccio's Loopback0 interface, what is the difference compared to the traceroute you did before?
