MPLS Platform Considerations
For information about modules that support MPLS on the ERX7xx models, ERX14xx
models, and the ERX310 Broadband Services Router:
â– See ERX Module Guide, Table 1, Module Combinations for detailed module
specifications.
â– See ERX Module Guide, Appendix A, Module Protocol Support for information about
the modules that support BGP.
For information about modules that support MPLS on E120 and E320 Broadband
Services Routers:
â– See E120 and E320 Module Guide, Table 1, Modules and IOAs for detailed module
specifications.
â– See E120 and E320 Module Guide, Appendix A, IOA Protocol Support for information
about the modules that support MPLS.
