CONFIGURING LOGICAL NETWORK DEVICES FOR LABEL-SWITCHED NETWORKS

Abstract:

Techniques for configuring a logical network switch in label-switched networks are provided. In some embodiments, a first network device in a label-switched network is configured with a network address. A second network device in the label-switched network is configured with the same network address. The first network device is configured to use a set of labels for a set of virtual local area networks (VLANs). The second network device is configured to use the same set of labels for the same set of VLANs. The configured first and second network devices appear as a logical network device from the perspective of other network devices in the label-switched network.
