Segment Routing (MPLS) Configuration Module

This configuration module configures SR-MPLS within IS-IS routing process on Cisco IOS XE (CSR), Arista EOS, Juniper vSRX, Nokia SR Linux and Nokia SR OS.

Supported Features

Supported Segment Routing features:

IPv4 and IPv6 (see Supported Platforms)
IS-IS routing protocol
IPv4 Node SID: set to node ID
IPv6 Node SID: set to node ID + 100

The module depends on the IS-IS module and will trigger a configuration error if the isis module is not enabled in the network topology.

Supported Platforms

SR-MPLS is implemented on the following platforms:

Operating system	IPv4	IPv6	IS-IS	OSPF
Arista EOS	✅	✅	✅	❌
Cisco IOS XE[1]	✅	❌	✅	❌
FRRouting	✅	✅	✅	❌
Juniper vMX	✅	✅	✅	❌
Juniper vPTX	✅	✅	✅	❌
Juniper vSRX	✅	✅	✅	❌
Nokia SR Linux ❗	✅	✅	✅	❌
Nokia SR OS	✅	✅	✅	❌

Parameters

The SR-MPLS module has no configurable parameters.

Example

We want to create a four-router multi-vendor SR-MPLS network.

All devices run IS-IS and SR-MPLS:

module: [ sr, isis ]

We want to use unnumbered P2P interfaces and dual-stack deployment with IPv6 configured on loopback addresses:

addressing:
  p2p:
    unnumbered: true
  loopback:
    ipv6: 2001:db8:cafe::/48

Two of the devices in our topology run Cisco IOS XE, and the other two run Arista EOS:

nodes:
  e1:
    device: csr
  e2:
    device: eos
  c1:
    device: csr
  c2:
    device: eos

The devices are connected into a square topology, with two of them having stub links:

links:
- e1-c1
- e1-c2
- e2-c1
- e2-c2
- e1
- e2

Resulting Device Configurations

The above topology generates the following device configurations (focusing just on segment routing and IS-IS parts).
