Configuring LDP Link Protection

You can configure Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) link protection for both unicast and multicast LDP label-switched paths (LSPs) to provide resiliency during link or node failure.

Before you begin:

  1. Configure the device interfaces.

  2. Configure the router ID and autonomous system number for the device.

  3. Configure the following protocols:

    1. RSVP

    2. MPLS with traffic engineering capability.

    3. OSPF with traffic engineering capability.

      Note:

      For multicast LDP link protection with loop-free alternative (LFA), enable link protection.

To configure LDP link protection:

  1. Enable point-to-multipoint LDP LSPs.
  2. Enable LDP on all the interfaces of Router R0 (excluding the management interface) and configure link protection with dynamic RSVP bypass LSP.
  3. Verify and commit the configuration.

    For example:
