(Optional) Configuring an LDP Transport Address

Procedure

1. Run system-view

   The system view is displayed.

2. Run interface interface-type interface-number

   The view of the interface on which the LDP session is to be set up is displayed.

3. (Optional) On an Ethernet interface, run undo portswitch

   The interface is switched to Layer 3 mode.

   By default, an Ethernet interface works in Layer 2 mode.

   

   Only the S5720-EI, S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-H, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6720-EI, S6720-HI, S6720S-EI, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, and S6730S-S support switching between Layer 2 and Layer 3 modes.

4. Run mpls ldp transport-address { interface-type interface-number | interface }

   An LDP transport address is specified.

   The default transport address for a node on a public network is the LSR ID of the node, and the default transport address for a node on a private network is the primary IP address of an interface on the node.

   If LDP sessions are to be established over multiple links connecting two LSRs, LDP-enabled interfaces on either LSR must use the default transport address or the same transport address. If multiple transport addresses are configured on an LSR, only one transport address can be used to establish only one LDP session.

   

   Changing an LDP transport address interrupts an LDP session. Exercise caution when running this command.
