Configuring Ldp Loop Detection - HP 10500 Series Configuration Manual

Figure 21 Label acceptance control diagram
A label advertisement policy on an LSR and a label acceptance policy on its upstream LSR can achieve
the same purpose. HP recommends that you use the label advertisement policy to reduce network load.
You must create an IP prefix list before you configure a label acceptance policy. For information about IP
prefix list configuration, see Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.
To configure a label acceptance policy:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter LDP view or enter
LDP-VPN instance view.
3. Configure a label
acceptance policy.

Configuring LDP loop detection

LDP detects and terminate LSP loops in the following ways:
Maximum hop count—LDP adds a hop count in a label request or label mapping message. The
•
hop count value increments by 1 on each LSR. When the maximum hop count is reached, LDP
considers that a loop has occurred and terminates the establishment of the LSP.
Path vector—LDP adds LSR ID information in a label request or label mapping message. Each LSR
•
checks whether its LSR ID is contained in the message. If not, the LSR adds its own LSR ID into the
message. If yes, the LSR considers that a loop has occurred and terminates LSP establishment. In
addition, when the number of LSR IDs in the message reaches the path vector limit, LDP also
considers that a loop has occurred and terminates LSP establishment.
To configure LDP loop detection:
Step
1. Enter system view.
