This object holds the literal MPLS label value manually assigned to this static encap tunnel, as the description states. Because this is a static, not signaled, tunnel, the operator must separately and consistently configure a matching label on the transit and egress routers along the path -- a mismatch here silently breaks the LSP with no dynamic renegotiation available to catch or correct the error automatically. For example, a label of 100024 configured here must exactly match whatever the corresponding transit and egress tunnel entries elsewhere in the network expect to see, or traffic will be mishandled.
