Example for Configuring Coexistent Local and Remote LDP Session
Networking Requirements
In Figure 1, LSRA and LSRC are provider edge (PE) devices on the Internet Protocol/Multiprotocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) backbone network. MPLS Layer 2 virtual private network (L2VPN) needs to be configured on LSRA and LSRC to enable communication between VPN sites. A local Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) session can be configured between the LSRs to establish an LDP label switched path (LSP) for transmitting the VPN service. In addition, a remote LDP session can be configured between LSRA and LSRC to implement coexistent local and remote LDP session.
In this scenario, to avoid loops, ensure that all connected interfaces have STP disabled and connected interfaces are removed from VLAN 1. If STP is enabled and VLANIF interfaces of switches are used to construct a Layer 3 ring network, an interface on the network will be blocked. As a result, Layer 3 services on the network cannot run normally.
Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
- Configure Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) on the LSRs to ensure IP connectivity on the backbone network.
- Configure a local LDP session between the LSRs to transmit the VPN service over a public network tunnel.
- Configure a remote LDP session between LSRA and LSRC to improve the L2VPN service reliability.
Procedure
- Create VLANs and VLANIF interfaces on each switch, configure IP addresses for the VLANIF interfaces, and add physical interfaces to VLANs.

The local adjacency between LSRA and LSRC goes Down, but they are still reachable through LSRB. The remote adjacency remains Up, the session type changes to remote. Since the session is still Up, L2VPN is unaware of the session type change and does not delete the session. This avoids the neighbor disconnection and recovery process and therefore reduces the service interruption time.

The L2VPN service will automatically switch back to the shortest path (local adjacency). Run the display mpls ldp lsp command on LSRA. You can see that the outbound interface on the LSP between LSRA and LSRC changes to VLANIF 10.
