To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter MPLS LDP view

mpls ldp

Specify the label distribution
control mode

label-distribution { independent |
ordered }

Optional
Ordered by default
For LDP sessions existing before the
command is configured, you must

reset the LDP sessions for the

specified label distribution control
mode to take effect.

Enable label re-advertisement for
DU mode

du-readvertise

Optional
Enabled by default

Set the interval for label
re-advertisement in DU mode

du-readvertise timer value

Optional
30 seconds by default

Configuring LDP loop detection

LSPs established in an MPLS domain may be looping. The LDP loop detection mechanism can detect

looping LSPs and prevent LDP messages from looping forever.
LDP loop detection can be in either of the following modes:

1.

Maximum hop count

A label request message or label mapping message carries information about its hop count, which

increments by 1 for each hop. When this value reaches the specified limit, LDP considers that a loop is

present and terminates the establishment of the LSP.

2.

Path vector

A label request message or label mapping message carries path information in the form of path vector

list. When such a message reaches an LSR, the LSR checks the path vector list of the message for its MPLS
LSR ID. If its MPLS LSR ID is not in the list, the LSR will add its LSR ID to the path vector list; if in the list, the

LSR considers that a loop appears and terminates the establishment of the LSP.
In the path vector mode, you must also specify the maximum number of hops of an LSP. An LSR will also

terminate the establishment of an LSP when the hop count of the path, or the length of the path vector,

reaches the specified limit.
Follow these steps to configure LDP loop detection:
