RE: Microsoft Outlook not openning through MPLS cloud

It seems that it is working now. This is after I have removed mpls mtu
from 1520 to default 1500 on the Gig interface as below.

Isn't that mpls mtu must be increased by at least 4 bytes on the
Ethernet to cater for MPLS VPN header? Or is this behaviour changes on
new versions? I am running c3825-spservicesk9-mz.124-9.T1.bin

Here are the configs

!

interface GigabitEthernet0/0

ip address x.x.x.x/x

 duplex auto

 speed auto

 media-type rj45

 mpls ip

 mpls mtu 1520

 mpls traffic-eng tunnels

 ip rsvp bandwidth

!

interface GigabitEthernet0/0

 description Vlan 5

 ip address 163.202.236.1 255.255.255.128

 duplex auto

 speed auto

 media-type rj45

 mpls ip

 mpls traffic-eng tunnels

 ip rsvp bandwidth

end

Hi Group,

I have 3 routers configured for MPLS, one P-router and 2 PE-router as
bellow

Servers----PE------serial----PE --------fastethernet--------PE------pc

For some reason I can't get Microsoft outlook mail through.

Everything is working fine including Microsoft Outlook Web Access

What can be the problem?

Thanks in advance..
