Enabling LDP
LDP must be enabled in order for the protocol to be active. MPLS does not need to be enabled on
the router except if the network interface uses the Packet over Sonet (POS) encapsulation (Sonet
path encapsulation type set to ppp-auto). In this case, MPLS must be enabled and the interface
name added into MPLS to allow for the MPLSCP to come up on the PPP link between the two
peers and for MPLS to be used on the interface. MPLS is enabled in the
config>router>mpls
context.
Use the following syntax to enable LDP on a router:
CLI Syntax: ldp
Example:
config>router# ldp
The following displays the enabled LDP configuration.
