STC Automation: Why the MPLS header has a Destinatio MAC address?
Environment/Versions
Spirent TestCenter.
Automation.
MPLS Header.
Answer
The Destination MAC address in the MPLS header is not a part of the MPLS protocol, this field is used as an API parameter to provide the user some flexibility to construct more complex scenarios.
The API document is auto-generated following the field definition.
The definition of MPLS.dstMac.
The dstMac address is defined as:
<FIELD name="dstMac" type="MACADDR"
defaultValue="00:00:01:00:00:01"
doNotBuild="true"
uiNoShow="Filter,Frame,Interface"
uiShowName="Next Hop MAC" />
For the API usage, in STC BLL MplsIf data model, it also has
[Destination MAC Address]
configuration item. That means this item could be configured from outside.
