[c-nsp] MPLS usage by the bgp process in a vrf-lite setup

[Gordon Bezzina]

Hi,

I am using the vrf-lite setup on the 7600 using rsp720-cxl.

This is the router:
c7600c#sh mod
Mod Ports Card Type                              Model              Serial
No.

Now I have a bgp peer within a vrf which is receiving the full table. As a
control
I am filtering out most of it. The problem is that bgp is creating an mpls
label for
Every ipv4 route. And most importantly I do not use mpls for routing.

The problem is that this is doubling the usage of my resources. Is there a
way to reduce it,
i.e reduce or disable the creation of the mpls?

Thanks in advance
Best regards
