Configuring PWE3 Over MPLS Core Network
Configuring LDP Entities
Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) session parameters must be configured to create 
LDP extended discovery sessions for Layer 2 MPLS VPNs. One LSR informs another 
of the label/FEC bindings it has made. Two LSRs which use an LDP entity to 
exchange label/FEC binding information are known as "label distribution peers" with 
respect to the binding information they exchange. If two LSRs are label distribution 
peers, there is said to be a "label distribution adjacency" between them. 
Configure an LDP session between each pair of switches on which a PWE3 
connection will be created. 
To configure LDP:
1. In the Network object tree, expand the instance node for the network that contains 
the switch.
2. Expand the Switches class node and double-click on the instance node for the 
switch.
3. The switch object tree appears in the Navigation Panel.
4. Right-click on LDP Entities and select Add. The Add LDP Entity dialog box 
appears (Figure 9-29).

5. Complete the fields as described in Table 9-25.
