Enabling MPLS

When you first install JUNOS Software on your device, MPLS is disabled by default. You must explicitly configure your device to allow MPLS traffic to pass through.

After you enable your router to allow MPLS traffic, the router performs packet-based processing and functions as a standard JUNOS router. For a list of packet-based features available on the router, see the product overview section in the JUNOS Software Security Configuration Guide.

Caution: When MPLS is enabled, all flow-based security features are deactivated and the router performs packet-based processing. Flow-based services such as security policies, zones, NAT, ALGs, chassis clustering, screens, firewall authentication, and IPSec VPNs are unavailable on the router. For more information on flow-based and packet-based processing, see the JUNOS Software Security Configuration Guide.

For information about which devices support the features documented in this chapter, see the JUNOS Software Feature Support Reference for SRX Series and J Series Devices.
