[j-nsp] Config help for basic MPLS setup

[Caillin Bathern]

On point 2 there, the ex can only process one label at a time but there could be a larger label stack than that so it can be a P router.

I see a couple of problems here:

1. MPLS L3VPNs use BGP to distribute the VPN label. Thus you *must*
have a full BGP mesh between your PEs (or you can of course use route
reflectors/confederations).

2. As far as I know the EX switches can only handle *one* MPLS label.
You need at least two labels for MPLS L3VPNs.
