Usage Scenario

A remote LDP session applies to the following scenarios:

Allocate inner L2VPN labels.

If a Martini VLL or VPLS connection is to be established between two LSRs, the remote LDP session must be established between the LSRs to allocate inner labels.
Configure LDP over TE.

If the core devices on an MPLS network support TE while edge devices use LDP, you need to configure a remote LDP session between the two edge LSRs on the TE network. After LDP over TE is configured, the TE tunnel is regarded as a hop of the entire LDP LSP.

A remote LDP session can be established between two indirectly connected LSRs or two directly connected LSRs.

A local and a remote LDP session can be established together between two LSRs.

Prerequisites

MPLS LDP has been enabled globally using the mpls ldp (system view) command.

Follow-up Procedure

An IP address can be assigned to the LDP remote peer.

Precautions

When configuring a remote LDP peer, run the mpls ldp remote-peer command on the local LDP and remote LDP peers.
