| Label Distribution Protocol
 | |
| ===========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. note:: VyOS' MPLS support is not finished yet, its funcitionality is
 | |
|    limited. Currently it can only be configured as a P router, that is,
 | |
|    an LSR in the core of an MPLS network.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| The **Multi-Protocol Label Switching** (MPLS) architecture does not
 | |
| assume a single protocol to create MPLS paths. VyOS supports the Label
 | |
| Distribution Protocol (LDP) as implemented by FRR, based on `RFC 5036 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5036.html>`__.
 | |
| 
 | |
| LDT it is an MPLS signaling protocol that distributes labels creating
 | |
| MPLS paths in a dynamic manner. LDT is not exactly a routing protocol,
 | |
| as it relies on other routing protocols for forwarding decisions.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. cfgcmd:: set protocols mpls ldp interface <interface>
 | |
| 
 | |
|    Use this command to enable LDP in the interface you define.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. cfgcmd:: set protocols mpls ldp router-id <address>
 | |
| 
 | |
|    Use this command to configure the IP address used as the LDP
 | |
|    router-id of the local device 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| In order to allow the exchange of label advertisements required for LDP,
 | |
| a TCP session should be established between routers. Routers will need
 | |
| to learn each other's **transport address** in order to establish the
 | |
| TCP session.
 | |
| 
 | |
| You may want to use the same address for both the LDP router-id and the
 | |
| discovery transport address, but for VyOS MPLS LDP to work both
 | |
| parameters must be explicitely set in the configuration.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. cfgcmd:: set protocols mpls ldp discovery transport-ipv4-address | transport-ipv6-address <address>
 | |
| 
 | |
|    Use this command to set the IPv4 or IPv6 transport-address used by
 | |
|    LDP.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. cfgcmd:: set protocols mpls ldp neighbor <address> password <password>
 | |
| 
 | |
|    Use this command to configure authentication for LDP peers. Set the
 | |
|    IP address of the LDP peer and a password that should be shared in
 | |
|    order to become neighbors.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Example
 | |
| -------
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|    set interfaces dummy dum0 address '2.2.2.2/32'
 | |
|    set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '10.0.0.2/24'
 | |
|    set interfaces ethernet eth2 address '10.0.255.1/24'
 | |
|    set protocols mpls ldp discovery transport-ipv4-address '2.2.2.2'
 | |
|    set protocols mpls ldp interface 'eth1'
 | |
|    set protocols mpls ldp interface 'eth2'
 | |
|    set protocols mpls ldp router-id '2.2.2.2'
 | |
|    set protocols ospf area 0 network '0.0.0.0/0'
 | |
|    set protocols ospf parameters router-id '2.2.2.2'
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| show commands
 | |
| -------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| When LDP is working, you will be able to see label information in the
 | |
| outcome of ``show ip route``. Besides that information, there are also
 | |
| specific *show* commands for LDP: 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. opcmd:: show mpls ldp binding
 | |
| 
 | |
|    Use this command to see the Label Information Base.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. opcmd:: show mpls ldp discovery
 | |
| 
 | |
|    Use this command to see Discovery Hello information
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. opcmd:: show mpls ldp interface
 | |
| 
 | |
|    Use this command to see LDP interface information
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. opcmd:: show mpls ldp neighbor
 | |
| 
 | |
|    Uset this command to see LDP neighbor information
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. opcmd:: show mpls ldp neighbor detail
 | |
| 
 | |
|    Uset this command to see detailed LDP neighbor information
