Providing MPLS services to customers on MikroTik ROSv7 | FULL LAB

In this video we will be exploring the complete setup of an MP-BGP setup to span VRFs between different Provider Edge routers to provide services such as MPLS VPN to customers. This is an extremely powerful feature that most ISPs will utilize to provide unique solutions to their clients.

    This is all very nice. The issue we ran into is that it seems if you want MPLS/VPLS on top of M-LAG that does not work. We suspect that the reason is how MikroTik decided to make the M-LAG implementation using a bridge instead of expanding the bond interface type. But if someone ever tried and succeeded with MPLS + M.LAG, please let me know.

    Will see if I can get a lab running on this, I think as BGP and MPLS matures more on v7 it should work. There are still plenty of things that just doesn't do what it's supposed to. Make sure to let MT support also know of it so that they can possibly help you are fix it in the software

    Thanks for the video. Can you tell me is OSPF resets any time you make a change still like in version 6? For example currently when you change the path cost it resets the entire connection instead of just updating the path cost. They claimed this would be resolved in version 7. Please advise if you can.

    Hmm, I have built almost the same topology as you. Ping from pe1- to pe2 works fine when using the cust1vrf and cust1 ipaddress. But one thing that I dont get working is when pinging from "cpe1wan" to "cpe2wan" I get no ping reponse... Using gns3 and wireshark I can see that the outgoing packet from pe1 is not being labeled in mpls, it is instead routed out normally via ip?? routing tables in vrf look good,

    Yes I completely agree with you, at the time of making the video route reflectors were still finicky on v7, to be fair I still have problems with route reflectors on my labs with v7. If you want to use RRs I think sticking with v6 for the time being is a smarter choice. Once RRs work correctly I will cover that setup in another video as well :)

    Great tutorial, but seems that the provider should not need to know the customer routing information (172.xx.yy.zz). It just seems like it would be a support nightmare. With MPLS, I'd just as soon connect the customer sites via VPLS (L2) instead and not worry about VRF.

  • @TheNetworkBerg

    @TheNetworkBerg

    Жыл бұрын

    VPLS is definitely a solution, however, MPLS in this manner is very common for ISPs that manage the customer's networks and provide cloud & internet services. All customer routing information is stored within its own VRF it actually makes supporting a customer a lot easier as you will be working and troubleshooting network issues within their VRF. There is no worry for overlapping subnets as this all exists in that customer's VRF and their route distinguisher.

    if you add OSPF in the customer handoff vrf it solves the problem of the carrier not needing to manage ever changing routes etc.
