MPLS Configuration Configuring L3 Label Switched Paths
Dynamic and Static L3 LSP Configuration Example
In Figure 17-10, R1 is the ingress LSR for both a dynamic LSP and a static LSP. The dynamic LSP has a primary path
and one secondary path. Only traffic to the 150.10.0.0/16 network is forwarded on the dynamic LSP, while only traffic
to the 160.10.0.0/16 network is forwarded on the static LSP; traffic filtering is performed by defining and applying
different policies to the LSPs.

In this example, RSVP is the signaling protocol used (LDP can also be used, as traffic engineering is not being
utilized). OSPF is the routing protocol that is used on all RS routers.
