1- Pre-standard implementation of MPLS on IOS platforms was called tag switching. All configuration, debugging, and monitoring commands used to configure MPLS on IOS therefore used the tag-switching keyword
2- " tag-switching ip " appears in the configuration even when you type " mpls ip ". This is for backward compatability with older IOS versions incase you needed to downgrade the version for any reason. 3- tag-switching default is TDP, while MPLS is LDP ( you can change this if u want ). 4- tag-switching is Cisco propriarity while MPLS is the IETF standard. Other than that commands can be used interchangable.
