Release 3.8.0	No modification.

Usage Guidelines

The LDP backoff mechanism prevents two incompatibly configured label switch routers from engaging in an unthrottled sequence of session setup failures. If a session setup attempt fails (due to incompatibility), each Label Switching Router (LSR) delays the next attempt, increasing the delay exponentially with each successive failure until the maximum backoff delay is reached.

Release 5.1.1	The following items were added: The vrf keyword was added. The interface keyword was added. The address-family ipv4 keyword was added.
Release 5.3.0	The ipv6 keyword was added.

Usage Guidelines

Establishing an LDP session between two routers requires a session TCP connection. To establish the session TCP connection, each router must know the transport address (IP address) of the other router.

The LDP discovery mechanism provides the means for a router to advertise transport addresses. Transport address is implicit or explicit. Implicit addresses do not appear as part of the contents of the discovery hello messages sent to the peer. If explicit, the advertisement appears as part of the contents of discovery hello messages sent to the peer.

The discovery transport-address command modifies the default behavior described above. Using the interface keyword, LDP advertises the IP address of the interface in LDP discovery hello messages sent from the interface. Using the ip-address argument, LDP advertises the IP address in LDP discovery hello messages sent from the interface.

Note

When a router has multiple links connecting it to its peer device, the router must advertise the same transport address in the LDP discovery hello messages it sends on all such interfaces.

Release 3.9.0	The maximum value for the seconds argument is 1800.

Usage Guidelines

Use the LDP graceful restart capability to achieve nonstop forwarding (NSF) during an LDP control plane communication failure or restart. To configure graceful restart between two peers, enable LDP graceful restart on both label switch routers (LSRs).

When an LDP graceful restart session is established and there is control plane failure, the peer LSR starts graceful restart procedures, initially keeps the forwarding state information pertaining to the restarting peer, and marks this state as stale. If the restarting peer does not reconnect within the reconnect timeout, the stale forwarding state is removed. If the restarting peer reconnects within the reconnect time period, it is provided recovery time to resynchronize with its peer. After this time, any unsynchronized state is removed.

The value of the forwarding state hold time keeps the forwarding plane state associated with the LDP control-plane in case of a control-plane restart or failure. If the control plane fails, the forwarding plane retains the LDP forwarding state for twice the forwarding state hold time. The value of the forwarding state hold time is also used to start the local LDP forwarding state hold timer after the LDP control plane restarts. When the LDP graceful restart sessions are renegotiated with its peers, the restarting LSR sends the remaining value of this timer as the recovery time to its peers. Upon local LDP restart with graceful restart enabled, LDP does not replay forwarding updates to MPLS forwarding until the forwarding state hold timer expires.

Note

In the presence of a peer relationship, any change to the LDP graceful restart configuration will restart LDP sessions. If LDP configuration changes from nongraceful restart to graceful restart, all the sessions are restarted. Only graceful restart sessions are restarted upon graceful restart to nongraceful restart configuration changes.

To enable Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) sync delay timer feature, use the igp sync delay command in MPLS LDP configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

igp sync delay seconds

Syntax Description


`seconds`	Time, in seconds, that declaration of LDP sync state being up is delayed after session establishment upon link coming up. Range is 5 to 300.

Command Default

LDP does not delay declaration of sync up and notifies IGP as soon as sync up conditions are met for a link.

Command Modes

Release 3.6.0	No modification.
Release 3.7.0	No modification.
Release 3.8.0	No modification.
Release 3.9.0	No modification.

Usage Guidelines

By default, LDP declares LDP sync up as soon as all the requisite conditions are met, namely:
- LDP session is up.
- LDP has sent all its label bindings to at least one peer.
- LDP has received at least one label binding from a peer.
This minimizes traffic loss on link up but can still lead to substantial traffic loss under certain circumstances (for example, when interoperating with an LSR with ordered mode operation). It may be necessary to delay declaration of sync up after the session comes up by configuring a timeout period.
When the graceful-restart event is configured, the IGP sync delay timer does not take effect.

igp sync delay on-proc restart seconds

Syntax Description


`seconds`	Time, in seconds, duration of process-level delay for synchronization events when the LDP fails or restarts. Range is from 60 to 600.

Command Default

This command is disabled by default.

Command Modes

MPLS LDP configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.8.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.9.0	No modification.

Usage Guidelines

The igp sync delay on-proc restart command enables a process-level delay for synchronization events when the LDP fails or restarts. This delay defers the sending of sync-up events to the IGP until most or all the LDP sessions converge and also allows the LDP to stabilize. This allows the LDP process failure to be less stressful because IGPs receive all the sync-up events in bulk. This means that the IGP is required to run the shortest path first (SPF) and link-state advertisements (LSAs) only one time with an overall view of the sync-up events.

Task ID


Task ID	Operations
mpls-ldp	read, write

Examples

The following example shows how to configure LDP to delay the declaration of synchronization events to IGP by 60 seconds:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure

Release 3.7.0	No modification.
Release 3.8.0	No modification.
Release 3.9.0	The tunnel-ip interface example was added to show that MPLS LDP is supported over GRE tunnels.

Usage Guidelines

When you configure LDP on an interface, the LDP process begins neighbor discovery, sending link hello messages on the interface. This can result in a session setup with discovered neighbors. When LDP is enabled on tunnel-te interfaces, targeted discovery procedures apply.

LDP interface configuration supports forward reference; accordingly, it is possible to configure a nonexisting interface under LDP.

Note

You cannot enable LDP on loopback interfaces.

MPLS LDP is supported over Generic Route Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels by configuring the tunnel-ip interface. LDP establishes a link session (as opposed to a targeted LDP session) over the GRE tunnel.

Usage Guidelines

The label advertise command determines how the label switch router (LSR) advertises local labels. The following rules describe the effects of running multiple commands:

Every command has a prefix-acl or peer-acl pair associated with it, as follows:
- In the absence of the for or to keywords, the access list pair is (none, none).
- When using the for keyword without the to keyword, the access list is (prefix-acl, none).
A prefix can have a maximum of one (prefix-acl, peer-acl) pair, as follows:
- A (prefix-acl, peer-acl) pair applies to a prefix only if the prefix-acl matches the prefix. A match occurs if the prefix-acl permits the prefix.
- If more than one (prefix-acl, peer-acl) pair from multiple label advertise commands matches a prefix, the (prefix-acl, peer-acl) pair in the first command applies to the prefix. The order in which the label advertise commands are processed is sorted based on the ACL names in a MIB-lexicographical way (shorter ACL name length will be processed first, if two ACLs are of equal length, then dictionary ordering is used).

When an LSR is ready to advertise a label for a prefix, the LSR determines whether a (prefix-acl, peer-acl) pair applies to the prefix.

If none applies, and if the disable keyword has been configured for the command, the label for the prefix is not advertised to any peer; otherwise, the label is advertised to all peers.
If a (prefix-acl, peer-acl) pair applies to the prefix, and if the prefix-acl denies the prefix, the label is not advertised to the peers defined in the peer-acl. Nevertheless, the prefix may be matched in subsequent (prefix-acl, peer-acl) entries and advertised to other peers.
If (prefix-acl, peer-acl) pair applies to the prefix and if the prefix-acl denies the prefix, the label is not advertised to peers defined in the peer-acl. Nevertheless, the prefix may be matched in subsequent (prefix-acl, peer-acl) entries and advertised to other peers.
If the prefix-acl permits the prefix and there is a peer-acl, the label is advertised to all peers permitted by the peer-acl.

Normally, LDP advertises labels for non-BGP routes present in the routing table. Additionally, LDP advertises labels from /32 IP addresses on Loopback interfaces and does not advertise /32 addresses for other non-Loopback interfaces. To control advertisement of labels for /32 IP addresses on these interfaces, use the label advertise interface command.

LDP supports IPv4 standard access lists only.

Note

Label advertisement control is also referred to as LDP outbound label filtering.

The following example shows how to disable advertisement of all locally assigned labels to all peers:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp)# label advertise

The following example shows how to send labels only for prefixes 10.1.1.0 and 20.1.1.0 to all peers:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# ipv4 access-list pfx_acl_1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ipv4-acl)# permit 10.1.1.0

The following example shows how to send labels for prefix 10.0.0.0 to peers 10.1.1.1 and 10.2.2.2, labels for prefix 20.0.0.0 to peer 20.1.1.1, and labels for all other prefixes to all other peers:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# ipv4 access-list pfx_acl_10
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ipv4-acl)# permit 10.0.0.0
  
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# ipv4 access-list pfx_acl_20
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ipv4-acl)# permit 20.0.0.0

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-lbl-advt)# for pfx_acl_20 to peer_acl_20

Note

To advertise pfx_acl_10 to peer_acl_10 and pfx_acl_20 to peer_acl_20 and disable all other advertisements to all other peers, include the disable keyword with the label advertise command.

The following example shows how to use the interface keyword to advertise /32 IP address for POS 0/1/0/0:

Usage Guidelines

Local label allocation control lets you override the default label allocation policy and provides many benefits, including reduced memory usage and fewer forwarding and network updates.

By default, LDP allocates local labels for all learned routes. There are times when you may want to limit label allocation for a given set of prefixes; for example, when using LDP in the core network to provide MPLS transport from one edge to another edge. In such cases, it is necessary to set up label switch packets (LSPs) for Loopback /32 addresses for provider edge (PE) routers (rendering it unnecessary to allocate and advertise local labels for other Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) prefixes).

LDP supports IPv4 standard access lists only.

mpls lsd app-reg-delay disable

Allows LDP to allocate labels with out any delay if segment routing will not be configured. By default, MPLS Label Switching Database (LSD) waits for segment routing enabled IGPs to allocate labels first because of their global significance. LSD allows LDP to allocate labels only after segment routing enabled IGPs complete label allocation. If segment routing will not be configured, this leads to additional delay and may cause traffic drops after router reload. This command avoids the delay in label allocation.

Usage Guidelines

LDP IGP synchronization addresses traffic loss issues as a result of synchronization between MPLS LDP and IP (IGP). For instance, upon a link up, IGP can advertise a link before MPLS converges on the link. Also, the IGP link is still used even when MPLS session goes down and MPLS LSP is broken on this link. The use of IGP link is determined based on MPLS LDP convergence synchronization status on the link.

Use the show mpls ldp igp sync command to display MPLS convergence status. The configuration for LDP IGP synchronization resides in IGPs (OSPF, ISIS); accordingly, LDP displays and advertises this information for all LDP-enabled interfaces (regardless if the interface is configured for LDP IGP).

signalling dscp (LDP)

To assign label distribution protocol (LDP) signaling packets a differentiated service code point (DSCP) to assign higher priority to the control packets while traversing the network, use the signalling dscp command in MPLS LDP configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

signalling dscp dscp

no signalling dscp

Syntax Description


`dscp`	DSCP priority value. Range is 0 to 63.

Command Default

LDP control packets are sent with precedence 6 (dscp : 48)

Command Modes

MPLS LDP configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.2	This command was supported.

Usage Guidelines

DSCP marking improves signaling setup and teardown times.

Ordinarily, when LDP sends hello discovery or protocol control messages, these are marked using the default control packet precedence value (6, or dscp 48). You can use the signalling dscp command to override that DSCP value to ensure that all control messages sent are marked with a specified DSCP.

Note

While the signalling dscp command controls LDP signaling packets (Discovery hellos and protocol messages), it has no effect on ordinary IP or MPLS data packets.

Task ID


Task ID	Operations
mpls-ldp	read, write

Examples

The following example shows how to assign LDP packets a DSCP value of 56:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp)# signalling dscp 56

snmp-server traps mpls ldp

To inform a network management system of session and threshold cross changes, use the snmp-server traps mpls ldp command in global configuration mode.

snmp-server traps mpls ldp {up | down | threshold}

Syntax Description


up	Displays the session-up notification.
down	Displays the session-down notification.
threshold	Displays the session-backoff-threshold crossed notification.

Command Default

LDP does not send SNMP traps.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The snmp-server traps mpls ldp command sends notifications to the SNMP server. There are three types of traps sent by LDP:

Session up: Generated when sessions go up.
Session down: Generated when sessions go down.
Threshold: Generated when attempts to establish a session fails. The predefined value is 8.
