LDP Operation in an IPv6 Network

LDP IPv6 can be enabled on the 7210 SAS interface. The following figure shows the LDP adjacency and session over an IPv6 interface.

Figure: LDP adjacency and session over an IPv6 interface

In the preceding example, LSR-A and LSR-B have the following IPv6 LDP identifiers respectively:

By default, A/128 and B/128 use the system interface IPv6 address.

Note:

Although the LDP control plane can operate using only the IPv6 system address, for optimal operation, the user must configure the IPv4-formatted router ID for OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP.
