Configuring MPLS Static Labels for IPv6 Prefixes
Rectification
Label discrepancy is cleared by allocating a new label to those IP prefixes that are allocated dynamic label.
The static label configuration takes precedence while clearing discrepancy. Traffic can be affected while
clearing discrepancy.
Router# clear mpls static local-label discrepancy all
Verify that the discrepancy is cleared.
Router# show mpls static local-label all

Configuring MPLS Static Labels for IPv6 Prefixes
MPLS static LSPs are created by assigning static labels to incoming IPv4/IPv6 prefixes and then specifying
the next hop address for the packets with statically assigned labels. Packets are forwarded in the LSP based
on this information. Effective with Cisco IOS-XR 6.2.2, you can assign static labels to IPv6 prefixes and set
the next hop address in the static LSP as an IPv6 address. To configure static labels for IPv6 prefixes, you
first need to configure named static LSPs and perform the remaining steps under LSP configuration mode.
Configuration Example
This example shows how to assign a static label to an IPv6 prefix and also configures an IPv6 address as the
next hop.
RP/0/0/CPU0:Router# configure terminal
RP/0/0/CPU0:Router(config)# mpls static
RP/0/0/CPU0:Router(config-mpls-static)# lsp ipv6-1
RP/0/0/CPU0:Router(config-mpls-static-lsp)# in-label 25000 allocate per-prefix 2001:DB8:0:1::

RP/0/0/CPU0:Router(config-mpls-static-lsp)# forward
RP/0/0/CPU0:Router(config-mpls-static-lsp-fwd)# path 1 nexthop TenGigabitEthernet0/0/0/0

Verification
The following examples show how to verify MPLS static labels for IPv6 prefixes.
RP/0/0/CPU0:Router# show mpls forwarding
