path-vector


Sets the path vector limit for an LDP entity.

Syntax: [no |default] path-vector value

value

The maximum number of entries allowed in the path vector list before LDP determines that the packet has traversed a loop. Valid values are:

  • 0 - disable loop detection.

  • 1 - 255 - enable loop detection and set the number of intermediate nodes to the specified value.

Description: The Path Vector provides a mechanism to find and terminate looping LSPs. A Path Vector TLV contains a list of the LSRs that it has traversed. An LSR that receives a message with a Path Vector that contains its LSR ID detects that the message has traversed a loop.

Use the path-vector value command to enable loop detection and set the limit for the number of intermediate LSRs that a packet can traverse before LDP determines that it is in a loop.

Use the no path-vector or the default path-vector command to set the path vector at the default.

Set the path-vector at 0 to disable loop-detection.

Factory Default: 255.

Command Mode: LDP configuration.

Example 1: In the following example:

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#interface pos 1/1/1

router(config-if)#mpls ldp

router(config-if-ldp)#path-vector 245

router(config-if-ldp)#end

router#show mpls ldp entity interface pos 1/1/1



POS 1/1/1 LDP is up

LDP Id: ipAddr 222.0.0.1, label space id 0

Protocol Version: 1

Loop Detection: enabled Vector Limit: 245
