Configuring MPLS
This step is unique in that we are not actually defining a data source, but rather prepare to define the subset
of the data source that we wish to monitor.
As previously mentioned, the NAM can analyze all or a subset of the traffic sent via a SPAN session to the
NAM. One such subset is MPLS traffic streams. The NAM can monitor individual MPLS traffic streams at
layer 3 by using the VRF’s mapping to MPLS labels as the defining factor or at Layer 2 using the VCID’s
mapping to MPLS labels as the defining factor.
This information is either imported from the router (requires the Setup > Switch Parameters > Switch
Login task to be completed) or imported from a file.
Once a list of VRFs and/or VCIDs are listed, select the desired entry, and click the Create DataSrc button.
This will create a data sources for this MPLS traffic stream that can be configured for monitoring (see step 2 -
enabling Core Monitoring.
