Configuring MLS-RP

Configuring MLS-RP
To fully enable MLS, you must properly configure all participating devices. This section will
describe the different configurations and settings that must be executed on the MLS-RP.
Remember, the MLS-RP can be an external router or an MSFC on a 6000 series switch.
We will discuss optional configuration settings. These options depend on the existing
layer 2 network and configuration. All the remaining subsections, except for “Verifying the
MLS Configuration,” apply only to external routers. We will start with the most basic and
essential commands and then move on to management commands that can be used for verification
and troubleshooting if necessary.
