Creating a View

To create a new view click on the New MPLS view tool Figure 4.

Figure 4. New MPLS view window

Once the view is created, two routers will be added Figure 5, these are the ones that were used in the physical circuit that was built in the connectivity manager chapter.

Figure 6 shows the view with the two MPLS routers.

In the chapter about New Logical Circuit, an MPLS Link Figure 7 was created that we will add to this view.
