In the example above, PC-A wants to communicate with PC-B. They are in different VLANs so the traffic will be routed via the RSM (default gateway for the PCs). The first packet will be sent by PC-A and routed by the RSM towards PC-B; a shortcut, PC-A --> PC-B, will be created and all subsequent packets will be Layer 3 switched by the MLS-SE (Supervisor=NFFC).
PC-A#ping 12.12.12.12

On the switch, MLS is enabled by default. There is no need to specify the MLS-RP IP address if it is the RSM. However, for an external router acting as the MLS-RP, we need to configure the switch with this IP address by using the following command:
set mls include
To configure the router, follow the steps below:
Enable MLS IP in global configuration:
Router(config)#mls rp ip
Assign a VTP domain on one MLS interface. The show vtp domain command on the switch provides the VTP domain name; our example is "sales":
Router(config-if)#mls rp vtp-domain sales
