To configure an LDP targeted peer

Note: You can choose to inherit values from the global-level LDP configuration by selecting the Inherit Value parameter.

The parameters that you configure for a targeted peer take precedence over the parameters that are configured for the global-level LDP configuration.

Steps
 
1 

In the navigation tree Routing view, expand Network→NE→Routing Instance→LDP.

2 

Right-click on the LDP icon and choose Properties.

3 

Configure a targeted LDP peer.

Perform the following steps:

  1. Click on the Targeted Peers tab and click on Create or choose a targeted peer and click Properties. The Targeted Peer (Create|Edit) form opens.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on LDP and choose Create Targeted Peer. To configure an existing peer, you can expand LDP→Targeted Peers and right-click on a targeted peer and choose Properties.

  2. Configure the required general targeted peer parameters.

4 

Configure the protocol properties of the targeted peer.

Perform the following steps:

  1. Click on the Protocol Properties tab and configure the required protocol parameters.

  2. Choose a local LSR ID in the Local LSR ID panel.

  3. Configure the required parameters in the Timer Control panel.

    By default, these parameter values are inherited from the global-level LDP instance.

    If the Enable Hello Reduction parameter is disabled while the targeted LDP session to the peer is operationally up, the change in the hold time will take effect only when the targeted LDP session is re-established.

    The parameters are not configurable if you are modifying an auto-created LDP targeted peer that was created using a CLI template. You can determine whether a targeted peer was automatically created on the NE using a template by verifying the Creator indicator.

5 

Associate LSP with a targeted peer.

Click on the LSPs tab and click on Add. Choose an LSP.

Click on the Multicast LSPs tab and click on Add. Choose an LSP.

The Multicast LSPs tab is available on enabling the Multicast Tunneling Enabled parameter in the Protocol Properties tab.

Note: If you are associating a dynamic LSP with a targeted peer, the destination of the LSP and targeted peer must be the same.

See Chapter 31, MPLS for information on how to create and configure LSPs.

6 

Save your changes and close the form.

7 

Configure the protocol for the far-end device, if applicable. Use CLI for devices that are managed outside the scope of the NFM-P.
