Lab Objective:
Implement IP MPLS VPN and ensure CE01 can communicate with CE03 while CE02 can communicate with CE04.
Configure hostname, IP address, and MPLS on interfaces in the MPLS backbone network.

!Verify OSPF adjacency status. We have two adjacencies on P01 and PE01 has routes and we can ping the Loopback IP of PE02
Configure VRFs on PEs, bind VRFs to customer-facing interfaces and assign IP addresses on PEs
