Hi All,

Thank you all.

If you are not service provider or have extra large network typically you will not configure MPLS.
If MPLS is provided by your ISP then you typically need to choose proper VPN type for company and have nothing with implementation. You just need to check are you provided what you are paying for.

Topology itself is not enough to give any recommendation, way much more details should be provided.

Hi Predrag,

Thank you for you're response however we are not an ISP we are fairly large company spread out around the country as p.p advises we have implemented MPLS across one of our other sites with success.
I'm looking for best practices & configuration? Along with support if anyone can help?
Thank you all
Generaly best practices and designs you can find here:
Cisco Validated Design

WAN MPLS best practice and configuration details can be found in:
Cisco - MPLS WAN Technology Design Guide
But, I am not sure if that's what you need. :)
Hi

Please see below with what we want to do!!..
Man-Belfast connected to close the ‘loop’

Like Predrag said, you'll need to have MPLS-enabled circuits for a start.  If you have that you can do your own routing using OSPF via the MPLS links.  The provider will deal with the MPLS and BGP config.

OSPF config should be simple, assuming you do have MPLS, and kit that supports proper OSPFv2 at least.
Hi All,

The switches are 2960 I take it i'll be able to find out if ospf is implemented in other portions of the network by exporting the config file?

Thank you all
OSPF is supported in the 2960-XR but it's unlikely you'll use OSPF there if they're at your access layer and not in your core.
Thank you
