MPLS Troubleshooting


  • LDP Neighborship failed
    • MPLS not enabled,
    • LDP TCP-646/711 ports filtered
    • No L3 route to LDP neigh
    • Router ID
  • Label not assigned
    • CEF not enabled
  • Label not shared
    • LDP/TCP comaptible problems between neighbor.
  • Slow convergence
    • Don't use RIP(slow protocol) as IGP
    • IGP is main reason for delay in convergense
  • Large packets dropped
    • Multiple labels may be present, pushing the MTU to a size not supported by the infrastructure.
    • MPU not supported by switches
