.Dd $Mdocdate: March 11 2019 $ .Dt MPIP 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm mpip .Nd MPLS IP layer 2 pseudowire .Sh SYNOPSIS .Cd "pseudo-device mpip" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm interface is used to create an MPLS IP layer 2 tunnel between two points.
p An .Nm interface can be created at runtime using the .Sy ifconfig Nm Ns Ar N Cm create command, or by setting up a .Xr hostname.if 5 configuration file for .Xr netstart 8 . The interface itself can be configured with .Xr ifconfig 8 .
p The local MPLS label, the remote MPLS label and neighbor, use of pseudowire control words, or flow-aware transport are normally configured after negotiation with a remote system using .Xr ldpd 8 , but it is also possible to configure them manually using .Xr ifconfig 8 . .Sh EXAMPLES Create a pseudowire with local label 20 and remote label 21 on neighbor 10.254.0.1: d -literal -offset indent # ifconfig mpip5 create # ifconfig mpip5 mplslabel 20 pweneighbor 21 10.254.0.1 # ifconfig mpip5 up .Ed
p Disable the use of the Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) Control Word, and enable the use of a Flow label for Flow-Aware Transport of Pseudowires: d -literal -offset indent # ifconfig mpip5 -pwecw pwefat .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mpe 4 , .Xr mpw 4 , .Xr hostname.if 5 , .Xr ifconfig 8 , .Xr ldpd 8 , .Xr netstart 8 .Sh STANDARDS .Rs .%A S.
