MPLS Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)

MPLS LDP Configuration Examples

global configuration mode makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify LDP as part of the configuration from the Tunnel14 and Tunnel16.

ip cef distributed

!Router1 supports distributed CEF

mpls label protocol ldp

!Use LDP as default

for all interfaces

interface Loopback0

!Loopback interface for LDP ID.

ip address 10.25.0.11 255.255.255.255

 

interface Tunnel14

!Tunnel to Router 4 requiring label distribution

tunnel destination 10.11.0.4

!Tunnel endpoint is

Router 4

mpls ip

!Enable hop-by-hop

forwarding on the interface

interface Tunnel15

!Tunnel to Router 5 requiring label distribution

tunnel destination 10.11.0.5

!Tunnel endpoint is

Router 5

mpls label protocol tdp

!Use TDP for session with Router 5

mpls ip

!Enable hop-by-hop

forwarding on the interface

interface Tunnel16

!Tunnel to Router 6 requiring label distribution

tunnel destination 10.11.0.6

!Tunnel endpoint is

Router 6

mpls ip

!Enable hop-by-hop

forwarding on the interface

Router 4 Configuration

The mpls label protocol ldp command in global configuration mode makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify LDP as part of the configuration for the Tunnel41 targeted session with Router 1.

ip cef distributed

!Router 4 supports distributed CEF

mpls label protocol ldp

!Use LDP as default

for all interfaces

interface Loopback0

!Loopback interface

for LDP ID.

ip address 10.25.0.44 255.255.255.255

 

interface Tunnel41

!Tunnel to Router 1

requiring label distribution

tunnel destination 10.11.0.1 !Tunnel endpoint is Router 1

mpls ip

!Enable hop-by-hop

forwarding on the interface

Router 5 Configuration

Router 5 must use TDP for all targeted sessions. Therefore, its configuration includes the mpls label protocol tdpcommand.

ip cef

!Router 5

supports CEF

mpls label protocol tdp

!Use TDP

as default

for all interfaces

interface Loopback0

!Loopback interface for LDP ID.

ip address 10.25.0.55 255.255.255.255

 

 

interface Tunnel51

!Tunnel to Router 1 requiring label distribution

tunnel destination 10.11.0.1

!Tunnel endpoint is

Router 1

mpls ip

!Enable hop-by-hop

forwarding on the interface

Router 6 Configuration

By default, a router cannot be a passive neighbor in targeted sessions. Therefore, Router 1, Router 4, and Router 5 are active neighbors in any targeted sessions. The mpls ldp discovery targeted-hello accept command permits Router 6 to be a passive target in targeted sessions with Router 1. Router 6 can also be an active neighbor in targeted sessions, although the example does not include such a configuration.

ip cef distributed

!Router 6 supports distributed CEF

interface Loopback0

!Loopback interface for LDP ID.

ip address 10.25.0.66 255.255.255.255

 

mpls ldp discovery targeted-hellos accept from LDP_SOURCES

 

!Respond to requests for targeted hellos

 

!from sources permitted by acl LDP_SOURCES

ip access-list standard LDP_SOURCES

!Define acl for targeted hello sources.

permit 10.11.0.1

!Accept targeted hello request from Router 1.

deny any

!Deny requests from other sources.

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.
