configure mpls lsr-id

configure mpls lsr-id ipaddress

Description

Configures the MPLS LSR ID for the switch.

Syntax Description

ipaddress Specifies an IP address to identify the MPLS LSR for the switch. The MPLS LSR-ID should be configured to the same IP address as the OSPF Router ID.

Default

No LSR ID is configured by default.

Usage Guidelines

LDP, RSVP-TE, and L2 VPNs all use the LSR ID. It is normally set to the OSPF Router ID.

The LSR ID must be configured before MPLS can be enabled. The LSR ID cannot be changed while MPLS is enabled. It is highly recommended that an IP address be configured on a OSPF enabled loopback This command is available on the ExtremeSwitching X440-G2, X450-G2, X460-G2, X465, X590, X620, X670-G2, X690, X695, X870, 5320, 5420, 5520 series switches. that matches the configured LSR ID and OSPF ID. If an LSR ID loopback IP address is configured, OSPF automatically advertises the LSR ID as a routable destination for setting up LSPs. The LSR ID remains active if an interface goes down if the LSR-ID is configured as an IP address on a loopback VLAN, as recommended. This significantly enhances network stability and operation of an MPLS network.

Example

The following command configures the LSR ID to 192.168.50.5:

configure mpls lsr-id 192.168.50.5

History

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 11.6.
