hat is MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) ?

MPLS is lable base fast switching, MPLS is a technique which forward the
packets in network on bases of labels.
Why MPLS?
Router use the process switching in which whenever router received a packet
it checks its IP address match with routing table and forward packet, send
ARP request for MAC addres. This Process become a little slow when router
dealing with a lot of IP packets, in case of VOIP e.g. a IP-Phone call may using
50packets/second then router have to perform process switching for every
packets

But in MPLS instead of processing above large packet each time route just
use a label to forward a packet which saving some processing cycle and
made fast forwarding.
MPLS Configuration on GNS3

Design above lab in gns3 and configure IP address and EIGRP according
to EIGRP configuration on GNS3 . In our lab R3 is provider router where as
R2, R4 and R5 are the provider edge routers.
On Cisco router to enable the MPLS you required to :
1.
Enable CEF(cisco express forwarding) on router
2.
Change MTU (maximum transmission unit) from 1500 to 1512 on MPLS
enabled interfaces, becase MPLS header is of 4 bytes and one interface have
maximum of three.
R2 MPLS configuration Commmands:
R2#conf t
R2(config)#ip cef
R2(config)#int s1/1
R2(config-if)#mpls label protocol ldp
R2(config-if)# mpls ip
R2(config-if)# mpls mtu 1512
R2(config-if)#ip route-cache cef
R3 MPLS configuration Commmands:
R3(config)#ip cef
R3(config)#int s1/1
R3(config-if)#ip route-cache cef
R3(config-if)#mpls mtu 1512
R3(config-if)#mpls ip
R3(config-if)#mpls label protocol ldp
R3(config-if)#int s1/2
R3(config-if)#mpls mtu 1512
R3(config-if)#ip route-cache cef

R3(config-if)#mpls ip
R3(config-if)#mpls label protocol ldp
R3(config)#int s1/0
R3(config-if)#mpls mtu 1512
R3(config-if)#ip route-cache cef
R3(config-if)#mpls ip
R3(config-if)#mpls label protocol ldp
R4 MPLS configuration Commmands:
R4(config)#ip cef
R4(config)#int s1/0
R4(config-if)# mpls ip
R4(config-if)#mpls label protocol ldp
R4(config-if)# mpls mtu 1512
R5 MPLS configuration Commmands:
R5(config)#ip cef
R5(config)#int s1/0
R5(config-if)# mpls label protocol ldp
R5(config-if)# mpls ip
R5(config-if)# mpls mtu 1512
R5(config-if)#
R5(config-if)#ip route-cache cef
MPLS Verification Commands:

R3#show mpls ldp neighbor

R3#show mpls forwarding-table

R3#show ip cef

R3#sh mpls ip binding

R3#sh mpls forwarding-table interface serial 1/1

Voip

HEAD OFFICE CONFIGURATION :

We need to configure DHCP Pool for VoIP segment, below is a chunk of its configuration :
ip dhcp pool VOIP-LIST
network 20.20.20.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 20.20.20.1
option 150 ip 20.20.20.1
So, lets continue to activate Call Manager Express feature in Cisco 2800 router :
telephony-service
max-ephones 5
max-dn 5

ip source-address 20.20.20.1 port 2000

auto assign 1 to 5
ip source-address command used to define the location and the port number for the telephony
router (VoIP gateway).
All configurations above will connect only for Local call, to connect between site lets do this :
dial-peer voice 50 voip
destination-pattern 50.
session target ipv4:2.2.2.2
!
dial-peer voice 201 voip
destination-pattern 201
session target ipv4:2.2.2.2
!
dial-peer voice 301 voip
destination-pattern 301
session target ipv4:2.2.2.2
!
dial-peer voice 401 voip
destination-pattern 401
session target ipv4:2.2.2.2
