Re: Tag-switching and MPLS interface commands

I believe the main difference between the two is that tag-switching ip turns on TDP which is Cisco proprietary and MPLS IP turns on LDP which is the open standard everyone adopted after Cisco came up with tag switching

I think each are implemented slightly differently but both are basically used to distribute label information in the network. The only thing I can recall at this moment is that they use different tcp port numbers but that is about it.

I am not sure why turning on mpls ip would show the tag-switching ip in the configuration.

Does anybody know the differences between the the interface commands
"tag-switching ip" and "mpls ip" (or better yet, have a good URL for it)? On
both my 2610 and 2500's, when I enter the "mpls ip" command, the
"tag-switching ip" command appears in my configuration.

I've been through both of my MPLS books and haven't seen how they differ...

Thanks...
