2.13.4 Example for Configuring LDP to Automatically Trigger a
Request in DoD Mode
This section provides an example for configuring LDP to automatically trigger a request in DoD
mode. The procedure consists of enabling global MPLS and MPLS LDP and configuring the
label advertisement mode as DoD.
Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 2-9, LSRA and LSRD are at the edge of a network. To set up a PW, a remote
LDP session must be set up between LSRA and LSRD to set up a public network tunnel. As the
network is of large scale, to save the network resources, you need to configure LDP to
automatically trigger a request to a downstream node for a label mapping message associated
with a remote LDP peer in DoD mode. In this manner, you can reduce unnecessary IP and MPLS
entries.

Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1. Assign an IP address to each interface of each node and configure the loopback address
that is used as the LSR ID.
2. Configure basic IS-IS functions on each backbone network device and a static route to the
neighbor of each edge device.
3. Enable global and interface-based MPLS and MPLS LDP on each node.
4. Configure the DoD label distribution mode.
5. Configure LDP extension for inter-area LSP.
6. Configure a remote LDP session and enable the function of automatically triggering a
request to a downstream node for a label mapping message associated with a remote LDP
peer in DoD mode.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
l IP address of an interface on each node as shown in Figure 2-9
l IS-IS level on each node
