(Optional) Configuring Association Between LDP and Static Routes

Procedure

• Enable association between LDP and static routes.
  1. Run system-view

     The system view is displayed.

  2. Run ip route-static [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] ip-address { mask | mask-length } interface-type interface-number [ nexthop-address ] [ preference preference | tag tag ] ^* ldp-sync [ arp-detect interface-type interface-number ] [ description text ]

     Association between LDP and static routes is configured.

     By default, association between LDP and static routes is not enabled.

  3. Run commit

     The configuration is committed.

• (Optional) Set a Hold-down timer.
  1. Run system-view

     The system view is displayed.

  2. Run interface interface-type interface-number

     The outbound interface view of the primary link of the static route is displayed.

  3. On an Ethernet interface, run undo portswitch

     The interface is switched to Layer 3 mode.

     By default, an Ethernet interface works in Layer 2 mode.

     The mode switching function takes effect when the interface only has attribute configurations (for example, shutdown and description configurations). Alternatively, if configuration information supported by both Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces exists (for example, mode lacp and lacp system-id configurations), no configuration that is not supported after the working mode of the interface is switched can exist. If unsupported configurations exist on the interface, delete the configurations first and then run the undo portswitch command.

     If many Ethernet interfaces need to be switched to Layer 3 mode, run the undo portswitch batch interface-type { interface-number1 [ to interface-number2 ] } &<1-10> command in the system view to switch these interfaces to Layer 3 mode in batches.

  4. Run static-route timer ldp-sync hold-down { timer | infinite }

     A period in which the static route is inactive and waits for the establishment of an LDP session is set.

     The default Hold-down time is 10s.

     • If the Hold-down time is 0s, association between LDP and static routes on the interface is disabled.

     • If the Hold-down time is infinite, the static route becomes active and MPLS traffic switching is performed only after an LDP session is established.

  5. Run commit

     The configuration is committed.

     The preceding configurations need to be performed on both ends of the primary and secondary links.
