Step Command

Remarks

4.

Configure the router to use IP

routes or LSPs to send back the
ICMP TTL exceeded messages

for TTL-expired MPLS packets

that have only one level of
label.

(Approach 1) Use IP routes:

ttl expiration pop

(Approach 2) Use LSP routes:

undo ttl expiration pop

Optional.
Use either approach as required.
By default, an ICMP TTL exceeded

message is sent back along an IP
route when the TTL of an MPLS

packet with a one-level label stack

expires.
This configuration does not take
effect when the MPLS packets carry

multiple levels of labels. ICMP TTL

exceeded messages for such MPLS

packets always travel along the
LSPs.

Configuring LDP GR

MPLS has two separate planes: the forwarding plane and the control plane. Using this feature, LDP

Graceful Restart (GR) preserves the LFIB information when the signaling protocol or control plane fails, so

that LSRs can still forward packets according to LFIB, ensuring continuous data transmission.
A router that participates in a GR process plays either of two roles:

GR restarter, the router that gracefully restarts due to a manually configured command or a fault. It

must be GR-capable.

GR helper, neighbor of the GR restarter. A GR helper maintains the neighbor relationship with the
GR restarter and helps the GR restarter restore its LFIB information. A GR helper must be

GR-capable.

As shown in

Figure 12

, two LDP peers perform GR negotiation when establishing an LDP session. The LDP

session established is GR capable only when both peers support LDP GR.
The working procedure of LDP GR is as follows:
