How to setup the Ubuntu MPLS Cient

How to setup the Ubuntu MPLS Cient

How to enable the MPLS module#

modprobe mpls_router

modprobe mpls_gso

modprobe mpls_iptunnel

sysctl -w net.mpls.conf.lo.input=1

sysctl -w net.mpls.platform_labels=1048575

How to create the virtual interface and bridge interface#

ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1

ip link add brm type bridge

ip link set eth1 master brm

ip link set veth0 master brm

ip addr add 192.168.23.99/24 dev brm

ip addr add 192.168.23.100/24 dev veth0

ip link set brm up

ip link set veth0 up

sysctl -w net.mpls.conf.veth0.input=1

sysctl -w net.mpls.conf.brm.input=1

ip netns add host1

ip link set veth1 netns host1

ip netns exec host1 ifconfig veth1 192.168.23.200/24 up

How to set the ip route with MPLS encapsulate and decapsulate#

ip route add 192.168.23.1/32 encap mpls 48 via inet 192.168.23.1

ip route add 10.10.23.11/32 encap mpls 48 via inet 192.168.23.1

ip netns exec host1 ip route add 10.10.23.11/32 via inet 192.168.23.199

ip -f mpls route add 384 via inet 192.168.23.200

radio access interface#

This is the normal ETH interface, but do not configure any IP to the interface, set the interface ip configuration to “Manual”.

Then in terminal run: ifconfig ethx up

TAP interface#

First you need the tunctl, if not exist in the system, install it.

tunctl -t tap9 -u root

ifconfig tap9 <radio access ip> netmask 255.255.255.0

ifconfig tap9 mtu 1400
