Topology:
Configure Loopback0 interfaces and links between routers according to topology.
Configure single area OSPF to advertise all interfaces on all routers in the topology.
Requirements:
1. Enable MPLS on all routers in the topology, and on all links between routers.
2. Use standards based protocol to allocate and exchange MPLS labels between routers.
2.1 set the protocol router ID to loopback0 interface.
2.2 on router R1, R2 and R3 explicitly enable the protocol on each interface.
2.3 on routers R4, R5, R6 & R7 enable the protocol using the minimal possible configuration commands.
3. Disable PHP on R1, R2 & R3.
Solution:
Highlight the text below to reveal the solution.
This task requires understanding of basic MPLS and LDP configuration - global MPLS configuration, LDP configuration on specific interfaces and LDP autoconfiguration, implicit vs explicit null label allocation.
Requirement #2 - on routers R4 - R7, use LDP autoconfiguration to minimize the number of commands to configure LDP on all interfaces. on routers R1-R3, configure explicit-null to disable PHP.
