Hi!

I'm trying to configure pseudowires (Ethernet/VLAN over MPLS) on a Cisco
7206VXR router, which is connected to our own device (under development). So
far, our device only supports LDP, but not RSVP or OSPF.

My problem is that the VC status is down on the Cisco, despite the fact that
labels have been successfully exchanged - see below.

In a previous thread here I got the impression that the Cisco router does
not support VCs connected directly on top of a POS interface; that I must
configure a tunnel first.

My question is therefore, is it possible to configure on the Cisco router an
MPLS tunnel with static labels? If so, how? This seems like the only option
to me, since our device does not yet support RSVP.

Any other options or suggestions are very welcome.

-Michael.
