TDP for this interface

The configuration of Router 2 also uses the mpls label protocol ldpcommand in interface configuration mode. To specify LDP for all interfaces, use the mpls label protocol ldpcommand in global configuration mode without any interface mpls label protocol commands.

Configuring the mpls ip command on an interface triggers the transmission of discovery Hello messages for the interface.

Establishing Nondirectly Connected MPLS LDP Sessions Example

The following examples illustrate the configuration of platforms for MPLS LDP nondirectly connected sessions using the sample network shown in the figure below. Note that Routers 1, 4, 5, and 6 in this sample network are not directly connected to each other.

Figure 2

Sample Network for Configuring LDP for Targeted Sessions

The configuration example shows the following:

•Targeted sessions between Routers 1 and 4 use LDP. Routers 1 and 4 are both active.

•Targeted sessions between Routers 1 and 6 use LDP. Router 1 is active and Router 6 is passive.

•Targeted sessions between Routers 1 and 5 use TDP. Router 5 is active.

These examples assume that the active ends of the nondirectly connected sessions are associated with tunnel interfaces, such as MPLS traffic engineering tunnels. They show only the commands related to configuring LDP targeted sessions. The examples do not show configuration of the applications that initiate the targeted sessions.

Router 1 Configuration

Tunnel interfaces Tunnel14 and Tunnel16 specify LDP for targeted sessions associated with these interfaces. The targeted session for Router 5 requires TDP. The mpls label protocol ldp command in

12.4 specifications

Cisco Systems has consistently been at the forefront of networking technology, and one of its notable software releases is IOS version 12.4. This version introduced significant enhancements and features that continue to influence networking practices. IOS 12.4 was specifically designed to accommodate the growing demands of network reliability, scalability, and advanced functionalities.

One of the primary characteristics of IOS 12.4 is its enhanced security features. The version integrates advanced security protocols, including improvements in IPsec, which allows for secure communication across potentially insecure networks. Additionally, it supports firewall technologies and access control lists (ACLs), ensuring that organizations can implement stringent security measures tailored to their traffic requirements.

Another defining feature of IOS 12.4 is its support for IPv6. As the internet continued to grow, the need for expanded address space became critical. With IOS 12.4, Cisco provided robust capabilities for transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6, ensuring that network managers could adopt the newer standard without sacrificing performance or reliability. This included support for routing protocols and other networking functions that were essential in an IPv6 environment.

Performance improvements were also a key aspect of IOS 12.4. The release optimized routing protocols, including Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), to enhance convergence times and reduce latency. This effectively contributed to improved network efficiency and uptime.

Cisco also included advanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities in IOS 12.4, allowing organizations to prioritize critical traffic. Features such as class-based weighted fair queuing and low-latency queuing became invaluable for organizations requiring seamless voice and video communications over IP networks. This focus on QoS demonstrated Cisco's understanding of the growing importance of multimedia applications in modern business environments.

With a set of stable and scalable routing features, IOS 12.4 supports a variety of platforms, enabling businesses to deploy it across different networking hardware to suit their needs. The modularity of this IOS version makes it flexible for various applications, from small business networks to large enterprise systems.

In summary, Cisco Systems' IOS 12.4 brought forth a wealth of features aimed at enhancing security, performance, and flexibility. Through improved routing capabilities, strong IPv6 support, and advanced QoS features, this version laid the foundation for many of the networking principles that organizations still utilize today.
