mpls ip propagate-ttl

Use this command to enable the propagation of TTL from IPv4 and IPv6 headers to the MPLS label.

Syntax

mpls ip propagate-ttl [forwarded | local]
no mpls ip propagate-ttl [forwarded | local]

Parameters

propagate-ttl (Optional) Specifies that TTL from IP/IPv6 header to MPLS label should be propagated.
forwarded (Optional) Specifies that TTL should be propagated only for forwarded packets.
local (Optional) Specifies that TTL should be propagated only for local packets.

Defaults

TTL from the IPv4 and IPv6 headers is propagated to the MPLS label.

Mode

Global router or named VRF global configuration mode configuration mode.

Usage

The “no” form of this command disables propagation of TTL from the IPv4 and IPv6 headers to the MPLS label.

A change in the MPLS TTL configuration requires a reset of the MPLS/LDP session. Use the no mpls ip command followed by the mpls ip command to reset the MPLS session. Use the mpls label-protocol-ldp command to re-enable the LDP session.

Examples

This example shows how to disable propagation of the IPv4 and IPv6 header TTL to the MPLS label and reset the MPLS/LDP session:

System(rw)->configure
System(su-config)->no mpls ip propagate-ttl
System(su-config)->no mpls ip
System(su-config)->mpls ip
System(su-config)->mpls label-protocol-ldp ipv4
System(su-config)->
