Hello Factor The value by which the hello timeout should be divided to give the 
hello time; that is, the time interval, in seconds, between LDP 
Hello messages. LDP uses hello messages to discover 
neighbors and to detect loss of connectivity with its neighbors.
Hold Time The time interval, in seconds, that LDP waits before declaring a 
neighbor to be down. Hold time (also known as Hello time) is 
local to the system and is sent in the hello messages to a 
neighbor. 
Keepalive Factor The value by which the keepalive timeout should be divided to 
give the keepalive time; that is, the time interval, in seconds,
between LDP keepalive messages. LDP keepalive messages 
are sent to keep the LDP session from timing out when no other 
LDP traffic is being sent between the neighbors.
Keepalive Timeout The time interval, in seconds, that LDP waits before tearing down 
a session. If no LDP messages are exchanged during this time 
interval, the LDP session is torn down. Generally the value is 
configured to be three times the keepalive time (the time interval 
between successive LDP keepalive messages).
Passive Mode The mode used to set up LDP sessions. This value is only 
applicable to targeted sessions and not to LDP interfaces. This 
mode is always set to False.
True — indicates that LDP responds only when it gets a connect 
request from a peer and will not attempt to actively connect to its 
neighbors
False — indicates that LDP actively tries to connect to its peers
Auto Create Specifies whether a targeted peer was automatically created 
through a Service Manager. For an LDP interface, this value is 
always false.
No. of Peers The total number of LDP peers
LSP The LSP name
