When an endpoint is dynamically learned from the specified routing protocol, MPLS
searches its tunnel profiles for a match. The dynamic tunnel is established using the
settings from the first matching profile.

Configuring Explicit Routing for MPLS
When you configure explicit routing rather than hop-by-hop routing for MPLS, the
route the LSP takes is defined by the ingress node. The path consists of a series of
hops defined by the ingress LSR. Each hop can be a traditional interface, an
autonomous system, or an LSP.
