This roadmap lists the features documented in the MPLS Layer 3 VPN configuration guide and maps them to the modules in which they appear.
Roadmap History
This roadmap was first published on May 2, 2005, and last updated on May 2, 2005
Feature and Release Support
Table 1 lists MPLS VPN feature support for the following Cisco IOS software release trains:
•
Cisco IOS Releases 12.2T, 12.3, and 12.3T
Not all features may be supported in your Cisco IOS software release.
Cisco IOS software images are specific to a Cisco IOS software release, a feature set, and a platform. Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco IOS software image support. Access Cisco Feature Navigator at http://www.cisco.com/go/fn.

Note
Table 1 Supported MPLS VPN Features
12.0(29)S
MPLS VPN—Loadbalancing Support for Inter-AS and CSC VPNs
This feature allows MPLS VPN Inter-AS and MPLS VPN CSC networks to load share traffic between adjacent LSRs that are connected by multiple links. The LSRs can be a pair of ASBRs or a CSC-PE and a CSC-CE. Using directly connected loopback peering allows load sharing at the IGP level, so more than one BGP session is not needed between the LSRs. No other label distribution mechanism is needed between the adjacent LSRs than BGP.
12.0(27)S
eBGP Multipath
This feature installs multiple paths in the IP routing table when the eBGP paths are learned from a neighboring AS, instead of picking one best path.
12.0(24)S
BGP Multipath Load Sharing for Both eBGP and iBGP in an MPLS VPN
This feature allows multihomed autonomous systems and PE routers to be configured to distribute traffic across both eBGP and iBGP paths.
12.0(23)S
VRF Aware MPLS Static Labels
This feature enable an MPLS VPN CSC network to use static labels at the edge of the VPN.
Using MPLS Static Labels at the Edge of the MPLS VPN Carrier Supporting Carrier Network
12.0(22)S
Inter-Autonomous Systems for MPLS VPNs
This feature enables an MPLS VPN to span service providers and autonomous systems. This feature explains how to configure the Inter-AS using the ASBRs to exchange VPNv4 Addresses.
MPLS VPN—Carrier Supporting Carrier
This feature enables you to create an MPLS VPN CSC network that uses LDP to transport MPLS labels and an IGP to transport routes.

MPLS VPN Carrier Supporting Carrier—IPv4 BGP Label Distribution
This feature enables you to create an MPLS VPN CSC network that uses BGP to transport routes and MPLS labels.
MPLS Virtual Private Networks
This feature allows a set of sites to be interconnected by means of an MPLS provider core network. At each customer site, one or more CE routers attach to one or more PE routers.
MPLS VPN ID
This feature enables you to identify MPLS VPNs by a VPN identification number, as described in RFC 2685.
MPLS VPN: Inter-AS — IPv4 BGP Label Distribution
This feature explains how to configure an MPLS VPN Inter-AS network so that the ASBRs exchange IPv4 routes with MPLS labels of the PE routers. Route reflectors exchange VPNv4 routes by using multihop, multiprotocol eBGP.
MPLS VPN—MIB Support
This feature allows you to monitor and manage MPLS VPNs using MIBs.

MPLS VPN: VRF Selection Based on Source IP Address
This feature enables you to direct MPLS VPN traffic based on the source IP address of the packet.
12.2(25)S
MPLS VPN—VRF Selection Using Policy Based Routing
This feature allows you to classify and forward VPN traffic based on match criteria, such as IP access lists, IP prefix lists, and packet length.
12.2(18)S
MPLS VPN Support for EIGRP Between Provider Edge and Customer Edge
This feature allows you to connect customers running EIGRP to an MPLS VPN.
MPLS VPN: VRF Selection Based on Source IP Address
This feature enables you to direct MPLS VPN traffic based on the source IP address of the packet.
