9-MPLS Module 9 LDP

APNIC MPLS Workshop Lab
Module 9 MPLS LDP Configuration Lab

Objective: All the routers are pre-configured with basic interface, OSPF and BGP configuration
according to the following topology diagram. Need to configure MPLS LDP on all relevant
interface of infrastructure routers. After finishing the configuration please ensure that required
LSP has been built for all the infrastructure prefixes and you can do LSP ping and LSP
traceroute from PE routers to the other PE routers within the Lab.
Prerequisites: Knowledge of IGP, EGP, MPLS, LDP is required.
The following will be the common topology and IP address plan used for the labs.

Figure 1 ISP Lab Basic Configuration
Lab Notes
Out of all 20 routers on the above lab topology R1, R3, R4, R6, R7, R9, R10, R12 are PE (LER)
routers. R2, R5, R8, R11 are P (LSR) routers and R13-20 are CE routers. On all PE and P routers
interfaces connecting to other PE or P routers we need to configure LDP protocol.
Please spend some time to be familiar with the network topology and addressing plan before you start
building the configuration on the routers.

Tuesday, September 09, 2014
In module 1 all required configurations are done in 3 steps.

1. LDP protocol configuration.
After the LDP configuration there will be 26 LSP build for the 26 IGP prefix according the table
below:
Loopback
R1=> 172.16.15.1/32
R2=> 172.16.15.2/32
R3=> 172.16.15.3/32
R4=> 172.16.15.4/32
R5=> 172.16.15.5/32
R6=> 172.16.15.6/32
R7=> 172.16.15.7/32
R8=> 172.16.15.8/32
R9=> 172.16.15.9/32
R10=> 172.16.15.10/32
R11=> 172.16.15.11/32
R12=> 172.16.15.12/32
Point-to-point
R2-R1=> 172.16.10.0/30
R2-R3=> 172.16.10.4/30
R1-R3=> 172.16.10.8/30
R5-R4=> 172.16.10.24/30
R5-R6=> 172.16.10.28/30
R4-R6=> 172.16.10.32/30
R8-R7=> 172.16.10.48/30
R8-R9=> 172.16.10.52/30
R7-R9=> 172.16.10.56/30
R11-R10=> 172.16.10.72/30
R11-R12=> 172.16.10.76/30
R11-R12=> 172.16.10.80/30
Transport
Purple=> 172.16.12.0/24
Green=> 172.16.13.0/24
2. Disabling the TTL propagation on the PE routers.

TTL propagation can be disabled to hide the core routers from the end users. Disabling TTL
propagation causes routers to set the value 255 into the TTL field of the label when an IP
packet is labelled.
3. Conditional Label binding for loopback prefixes only
To scale MPLS in a large environment we will optimize our LFIB table to build LSP for loopback
prefixes only, which will be used as nexthop for all external prefix. Those LSP for loopback prefixes
will also be used as VPN LSP in our next module when we will do L3 VPN lab. After configuration of
conditional LDP LSP will build for following IGP prefix only.
Loopback
R1=> 172.16.15.1/32
R2=> 172.16.15.2/32
R3=> 172.16.15.3/32
R4=> 172.16.15.4/32
R5=> 172.16.15.5/32
R6=> 172.16.15.6/32
R7=> 172.16.15.7/32
R8=> 172.16.15.8/32
R9=> 172.16.15.9/32
R10=> 172.16.15.10/32
R11=> 172.16.15.11/32
R12=> 172.16.15.12/32
Lab Exercise
1. LDP Configuration:
Here is an example configuration for R1
config t
ip cef
CEF (Cisco Express Forwarding), which enhanced the previous process switching mechanism. For
MPLS to work CEF switching is mandatory.
mpls label range 100 199
Specifying the label range for this router start from 100 to 199. It will help us to identify and
analyse the label allocation during troubleshooting and debugging purpose.
mpls ldp router-id loopback 0 force
Forcing LDP router ID to be loopback address

int e1/0
mpls ip
IP MPLS is enabled on the interface

mpls label protocol ldp
Label distribution protocol is LDP

mpls mtu override 1512
MPLS MTU size will be changed to 1512 considering 3 stack of 32 bit MPLS label including main
label, VPN and Traffic engineering
int e1/1
mpls ip
exit
exit
wr
Verify your LDP configuration:

Command to show all the interfaces configured with MPLS and relevant protocol:
sh mpls ldp discovery [LDP ID]
sh mpls ldp parameters [LDP version, different LDP timers etc]
sh mpls ldp neighbor [LDP neighbor status etc]
sh mpls ldp bindings [LDP label binding etc]
sh mpls forwarding-table [MPLS forwarding table]
traceroute [router13, router14, router15..router20]
APNIC
MPLS LDP Debugging

debug mpls ldp messages sent/received all
debug mpls packet
[Ping from CPE routers]
2. Disabling the TTL propagation on the PE routers

Here is an example configuration for R9
config t
no mpls ip propagate-ttl forwarded
The TTL functionality in MPLS is equivalent to that of traditional IP forwarding. Furthermore,

when an IP packet is labeled, the TTL value from the IP header is copied into the TTL field in the
label. This is called TTL propagation. This command will disable copying TTL field from the IP
packet to the LDP label and set a default value 255 and it will hide the ISP backbone routers from
the traceroute perform from CE routers.
exit
wr
3. Conditional Label binding for loopback prefixes only

config t
ip prefix-list ALL-LOOPBACK seq 15 permit 172.16.15.0/24 le 32
This prefix list will match all loopback prefix belongs to subnet 172.16.15.0/24 and from range 24
to 32
mpls ldp label
allocate global prefix-list ALL-LOOPBACK
From the global IGP table filter all prefixes other then those match by prefix list ALLLOOPBACK then allocate local label and advertise to LDP neighbour.
