CCIE SP - Inter-AS MPLS VPN Option C Lab - Initial + Full Configs
Inter-AS MPLS VPN Option C is a highly scalable approach that enables end-to-end MPLS label switching across multiple Autonomous Systems (ASes) without exposing internal infrastructure details. Unlike
Option A (VRF-to-VRF peering) and Option B (MPLS label exchange via MP-eBGP), Option C uses BGP Labeled Unicast (BGP-LU) to distribute labels between ASes, allowing for efficient forwarding without needing ASBRs to maintain VPN routes. This method improves scalability, convergence, and traffic engineering capabilities, making it ideal for large service providers needing seamless MPLS VPN transport across global networks.
With full end-to-end MPLS switching, Option C eliminates double lookups, optimizing data plane efficiency.

in the loading process. You can add any username and password other than admin,
root, sysadmin and other reserved usernames. Go with something like Alex/cisco
e.g.
Then when completely loaded, you can use cisco/cisco or
admin/admin.
***For XRv9K Full image you are asked for a username and password in the loading process. You then login using the username and password that you set.
