MPLS Label Distribution Protocol Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software


This chapter describes the commands used to configure Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) in a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network.

LDP provides a standard methodology for hop-by-hop (or dynamic label) distribution in an MPLS network by assigning labels to routes that have been chosen by the underlying Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing protocols. The resulting labeled paths, called label switch paths (LSPs), forward labeled traffic across an MPLS backbone.

LDP also provides the means for label switching routers (LSRs) to request, distribute, and release label prefix binding information to peer routers in a network. LDP enables LSRs to discover potential peers and establish LDP sessions with those peers to exchange label binding information.

The Cisco IOS XR software implementation of LDP supports these features:

Downstream unsolicited label distribution with liberal mode retention and independent control over frame-based interfaces.

Support for router-id and transport-address modification.

Support for LDP targeted sessions over MPLS traffic-engineering tunnels.

LDP graceful restart mechanism for nonstop forwarding (NSF).

Support for LDP MIBs.

Use of TCP MD5 signature option for LDP session.

Layer 3 load balancing across equal-cost multiple IGP paths.

Support for MPLS explicit-null label, which extends the LSP path to the last router instead of the next-to-last router.

Inbound and outbound label filtering.

Local label allocation control.

LDP Session Protection.

LDP IGP synchronization.

Signalling for Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).

For detailed information about MPLS concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, refer to the
Cisco IOS XR MPLS Configuration Guide.

backoff

To configure the parameters for the LDP backoff mechanism, use the backoff command in MPLS LDP configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

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 LSR delays the next attempt increasing the delay exponentially with each successive failure (until the maximum backoff delay is reached).

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 value, 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.

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 switching 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 non graceful restart to graceful restart, all the sessions are restarted. Only graceful restart sessions are restarted upon graceful restart to non graceful restart configuration changes.

By default, LDP declares LDP sync up as soon as all the requisite conditions are met; namely:

an 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 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.

By default, LDP accepts labels (as remote bindings) for all prefixes from all its peers. To save resources (such as memory) configure the access list to specify label and binding acceptance for a set of prefixes from a peer.

If the inbound label filtering policy changes such that it now allows previously-denied prefixes from a peer, you must reset the LDP session with the peer using the clear mpls ldp neighbor command.

LDP supports IPv4 standard access lists only.


Note Label acceptance control is also referred to as LDP inbound label filtering.

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

Every command has a prefix- 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 described below:

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.

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 form of the command has been configured, 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 any peer.

If the prefix-acl permits the prefix and the peer-acl is none (that is, the command that applies to the prefix is an label advertise for prefix-acl command without the to keyword), the label is advertised to all 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 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-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 label advertise.


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

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp)# label advertise 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-lbl-advt)# interface POS 0/1/0/0

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 LSPs for Loopback /32 addresses for PE routers (rendering it unnecessary to allocate and advertise local labels for other IGP prefixes).

LDP supports IPv4 standard access lists only.

router-id (MPLS LDP)

To specify the IP address of a preferred interface or a specific IP address as the LDP router ID, use the router-id command in MPLS LDP configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

router-id A.B.C.D.

no router-id

Syntax Description

A.B.C.D.

32-bit router ID value specified in four-part, dotted-decimal notation.


Defaults

LDP uses router ID as determined by global router ID agent, IP Address Repository Manager (IP ARM).

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

The router-id command lets you specify an interface with an IP address to be used as the LDP router ID (which is necessary when an IP address selected as the LDP router ID might not be advertisable by the routing protocol to a neighboring router). In such cases, use the router-id command to select the IP address of the specified loopback interface (if the interface is operational) or a specific IP address.

LDP uses the router ID from different sources in the following order:

1. Configured LDP router ID.

2. Global router ID (if configured).

3. Calculated (computed) using the primary IPv4 address of the highest numbered configured loopback address. We recommend configuring at least one loopback address.


Note We recommend that you configure the LDP router-id with an ip-address to avoid unnecessary session flaps.

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).

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.
