(Optional) Configuring a Policy for Triggering Transit LSP Establishment

A policy for triggering transit LSP establishment can be configured to allow LDP to use a specified route to establish a transit LSP.

Context

After MPLS LDP is enabled, LDP LSPs will be automatically established, leading to a large number of transit LSPs and resulting in resource wastes. A policy for triggering transit LSP establishment can be configured to allow LDP to only send Label Mapping messages upstream for routes that match specified conditions to establish a transit LSP. This reduces the number of unwanted LSPs and efficiently uses network resources.

Procedure

  1. Access the system view.

    system-view

  2. Access the MPLS-LDP view.

    mpls ldp

  3. Configure a policy for triggering transit LSP establishment.

    LDP uses all routes without filtering them to establish transit LSPs by default.

    The policy for triggering transit LSP establishment cannot be modified during the LDP GR process.
