In MPLS network, we often adopt

LDP as the label distribution
protocol in an MPLS domain to set
up LSPs, this slide introduces the
configuration of how to establish
LDP sessions and how to perform
label mapping, release, and so on.

Upon completion of this course, you will

be able to:
Describe the LDP configuration
commands
Know typical applications of LDP
Describe how to monitor the
information of LDP

LDP Configuration Commands

Enable LDP
[Quidway]
mpls ldp
Enable mpls ldp in system view

mpls ldp enable LDP for a public instance or

for a VPN instance.

Use this command after the MPLS LSR ID has

been configured and MPLS is globally enabled.

[Quidway-Serial1]
mpls ldp

Enable mpls ldp in interface view

LDP Configuration Commands

Configure Remote LDP
[Quidway]
mpls ldp remote-peer peer-name
Enter MPLS LDP remote peer view.

[Quidway-mpls-ldp-remote-huawei]
remote-ip ip-address
Configure remote peer IP address

There is only one LDP session between two LSRs, and the
priority of local LDP is higher than remote LDP
Up to now, remote LDP is only used to transmit message
for L2VPN

LDP Configuration Commands

Configure Parameters for LDP Session
[Quidway-Serial1]
mpls ldp advertisement { dod | du }
The default label advertisement mode is DU.

[Quidway-Serial1]
mpls ldp timer keepalive-hold seconds
Configure the session hold timer.

By default, the keepalive hold value is 45 seconds for both local

and remote sessions.

LDP Configuration Commands

Configure Label Distribution and Retention Mode
[Quidway]
label-distribution { independent | ordered }
Configure label distribution control mode.

label-retention { liberal | conservative }

Configure label retention mode.
By default, label distribution control mode is ordered; label retention mode

is liberal; re-advertising labels in DU mode is enabled.

LDP Configuration Commands

Configure Loop Detection
[Quidway-mpls-ldp]
loop-detect
hops-count hop-number

ranges from 1 to 32

path-vectors pv-number
Configuring Loop Detection

By default, loop detection is disabled.

To perform loop detection for the MPLS domain, you must
configure loop detection on all LSRs.
Loop detection includes two modes, the maximum hop
count mode and the path vector mode.

LDP Configuration Commands

Configure LDP MD5 Authentication
[Quidway-mpls-ldp]
md5-password { plain | cipher } peer-lsr-id password
Configuring LDP MD5 Authentication

By default, the MD5 authentication is disabled.

To improve the security of LDP sessions, MD5

authentication can be used for the setup of
TCP connections used by LDP.

Network Requirements

RTA, RTB and RC support MPLS, and run routing protocol

between them.

Establish local LDP sessions between RTA and RTB, also

between RTB and RTC. Establish a remote LDP session
between RTA and RTC.
