MPLS Feature Support on the QFX Series and EX4600 Switch Overview
This topic describes the major MPLS features that are supported and not supported on the QFX Series and on the EX4600 switch.
 | Note: The command-line interface (CLI) on QFX Series devices and on the EX4600 switch displays even the MPLS related configuration statements that are not supported. However, configuring the unsupported statements on a device will have no effect on the operation of the device. See the following topics for the list of supported MPLS related configuration statements on QFX Series devices and on the EX4600 switch:
