To run a MPLS LDP Summary report

 

The MPLS LDP Summary report provides an inventory of routers running MPLS Label Distribution Protocol. You can configure the parameters of the report to focus on the components that you are most interested in.

 

MPLS LDP Summary report details:

Name Description
Device Name name of the device.
LSR ID Label Switching Router (LSR) identifier is the first 4 bytes of the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) identifier.
Loop detection capability

indicates the LSR loop detection capability, and not necessarily its current state. Loop detection is determined during session initialization, individual sessions may not run with loop detection. Loop detection can be:

  • None, loop detection is not supported on this LSR.
  • Other, loop detection is supported but by a method other than those explicitly defined in the MIB.
  • Hop Count, loop detection is supported only through hop count.
  • Path Vector, loop detection is supported only through path vector.
  • Hop Count And Path Vector, loop detection is supported by both hop count and path vector.
Lable retention mode

Label Retention Mode. When set to:

  • Conservative, the advertised label mappings are retained only if they will be used to forward packets, i.e. if label came from a valid next hop.
  • Liberal, all advertised label mappings are retained whether they are from a valid next hop or not.
LDP session traps enabled

LDP Session Traps Enabled, when set to:

  • Enabled, the mplsLdpSessionUp and mplsLdpSessionDown can be generated.
  • Disabled, the mplsLdpSessionUp and mplsLdpSessionDown can not be generated. The default is Disabled.
LDP Peers number of LDP peers.
