What It Means

This LSP event indicates that the traffic engineering database cannot determine the address of the local router. Sample Outputs 1 and 2 show the entry in the traffic engineering database where the node entry Type: --- does not indicate a type of router (Rtr) or pseudonode (Net) address. Since the node does not know what type it is, it cannot know its own address.

Cause

This LSP event can be caused by several factors. Traffic engineering might not be configured for OSPF, the loopback (lo0) interface might not have the family ISO or an ISO address configured, or the loopback interface might not be included at the [edit interfaces] hierarchy level.

Note that in Sample Output 3, the source address of the LSP is 0.0.0.0 since the node does not know its own address. When the From address is 0.0.0.0, it can indicate that interfaces are not included at the [edit protocols mpls] or the [edit protocols isis] hierarchy level.

Action

Take the corrective action appropriate to the situation: enable traffic engineering, configure the family iso statement or address statement, or include interfaces at the [edit interfaces], [edit protocols mpls], or [edit protocols isis] hierarchy level.
