Currently it can only be configured as a P router, that is, - an LSR in the core of an MPLS network. - - -The **Multi-Protocol Label Switching** (MPLS) architecture does not -assume a single protocol to create MPLS paths. VyOS supports the Label -Distribution Protocol (LDP) as implemented by FRR, based on `RFC 5036 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5036.html>`__. - -LDT it is an MPLS signaling protocol that distributes labels creating -MPLS paths in a dynamic manner. LDT is not exactly a routing protocol, -as it relies on other routing protocols for forwarding decisions. - - -.. cfgcmd:: set protocols mpls ldp interface <interface> - - Use this command to enable LDP in the interface you define. - - -.. cfgcmd:: set protocols mpls ldp router-id <address> - - Use this command to configure the IP address used as the LDP - router-id of the local device - - -In order to allow the exchange of label advertisements required for LDP, -a TCP session should be established between routers. Routers will need -to learn each other's **transport address** in order to establish the -TCP session. - -You may want to use the same address for both the LDP router-id and the -discovery transport address, but for VyOS MPLS LDP to work both -parameters must be explicitely set in the configuration. - - -.. cfgcmd:: set protocols mpls ldp discovery transport-ipv4-address | transport-ipv6-address <address> - - Use this command to set the IPv4 or IPv6 transport-address used by - LDP. - -.. cfgcmd:: set protocols mpls ldp neighbor <address> password <password> - - Use this command to configure authentication for LDP peers.
