RoS7 MPLS LDPv4 over PPP

Mon Nov 11, 2024 4:45 pm

Hi!

I try to bring this up in HUB&Spoke topology, both VPNv4 and VPNv6. Funny thing is VPNv6 over IPv6 peers just works fine. VPNv4 over IPv4 peers is strange in LDP + IGP aspect. One Spoke reachable from LNS and router behind LNS, other doesn't.
Did anybody successfully managed to configuring this? Specifically over L2TP?

This is basically an MPLS LDP issue, not BGP issue.

Cheers,
oreggin

Re: RoS7 MPLS LDPv4 over PPP

Topology is:
[cisco NCS5500 XR]---{gigabitethernet}---[CCR2004]==={L2TPs}===[Spokes]
CCR2004 is the LNS as of now, later would be CCR2116.

I tried OSPF and RIP as IGP without success. There are 5 Spokes on LNS/HUB. All the five LDP adjacency is DOp (D - DYNAMIC; O - OPERATIONAL; p - PASSIVE), but some of Spokes's LDP remote bindings are inactive:
[oreggin@lns.mtik-test] > /mpls/ldp/remote-mapping/print where dst-address~"10[.]4"                                  
Flags: I - INACTIVE; D - DYNAMIC
Columns: VRF, DST-ADDRESS, NEXTHOP, LABEL, PEER
  #    VRF   DST-ADDRESS   NEXTHOP     LABEL      PEER

716  D main  10.43.54.126  10.3.3.252  impl-null  10.43.54.126:0
718  D main  10.43.0.126   10.3.3.250  impl-null  10.43.0.126:0

722 ID main  10.44.2.254               impl-null  10.44.2.254:0 
From XR box, the last two Spoke are not pings. LDP remote binding shows those doesn't have resolved nexthop(?) :-O
But they have:

MPLS forwarding table:

Columns: LABEL, VRF, PREFIX, NEXTHOPS
#   LABEL  VRF   PREFIX        NEXTHOPS                                                                
3 L    19  main  10.43.69.254  { label=impl-null; nh=10.3.3.254; interface=<l2tp-user@realm-1> }
5 L    18  main  10.43.54.126  { label=impl-null; nh=10.3.3.252; interface=<l2tp-user@realm-3> }
7 L    17  main  10.43.0.126   { label=impl-null; nh=10.3.3.250; interface=<l2tp-user@realm-4> }
The same shows when I use RIP as IGP. The IPv6/VPNv6 is works like a charm and stable. On IPv4, it is totally random which Spoke can communicate with the XR and which can't. Sometimes all of the Spoke have right LDP binding and mpls forwarding table entries, sometime neither, sometimes just the part of them. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Now only two Spokes can communicate:

If I add static remote bindings for Spokes, then LNS starts forwarding their traffic:

It seems to me there is an issue between IGP and LDP because IGP can see Spokes's routes and have resolved nexthops for them but those doesn't translated into the LDP bindings. And it is totally ramdom which route's nexthop get through into LDP remote bindings and which doesn't.
