mpls ldp


In Configuration command mode: Enables LDP/deletes all LDP entities. Changes the command mode to LDP configuration.

In Interface LDP configuration command mode: Creates/destroys an LDP entity associated with the interface. Changes the command mode to LDP interface configuration mode.

Syntax: [no] mpls ldp [label-space-id num]

label-space-id num

Assigns a unique label-space-id to parallel links between two connected routers. This option is only valid in interface mode. Valid Values: 0 - 65536. Default Value: 0 (no parallel link).

Description: LDP must be globally enabled before it can be enabled on individual interfaces, composite links, or tunnels. Enabling LDP on an interface or composite link creates an LDP entity associated with that interface or composite link.

LDP traffic can only be forwarded over interfaces on which an active LDP session has been established. The ability to form multiple LDP sessions with the same physical peer LSR across different interfaces requires the configuration of a unique interface label-space-id for each parallel link. Assigning a unique LDP Label Space ID to each interface ensures that all LDP adjacencies will be able to establish an LDP session.

NOTE The commands to globally enable LDP must appear in the configuration file before the commands to enable LDP on individual interfaces, composite links, and tunnels.

In Configuration command mode:

Use the mpls ldp command to globally enable LDP on the Avici router and to change the command mode to LDP configuration.

Use the no mpls ldp command to disable LDP on the Avici router. All LDP entities are destroyed.

In Interface configuration command mode:

Use the mpls ldp command to create an LDP entity with default values on the interface (if no entity already exists), and change the command mode to LDP configuration.

NOTE If LDP has not been globally enabled, the following error message is displayed:

LDP is disabled on TSR, cannot enable it on interface

Use the mpls ldp label-space-id command to specify a unique label-space-id per parallel LDP enabled interface between two LSRs.

Use the no mpls ldp command in Interface configuration command mode to delete the LDP entity associated with the interface.

Factory Default: Not configured.

Command Mode: Configuration and interface LDP configuration.
