[mpls-linux-general] setup problem in linux-mpls-ldp-0.011

[AK R. <akr...@ve...>]

hi,
I have installed linux-mpls-ldp-0.011 package on redhat linux 6.2  with
kernel 2.3.3  . it was installed properly except that , even after
giving the option for /proc file system while configuring the kernel ,
the files
mpls_in, mpls_lib, mpls_out  were not formed in /proc/net directory.


the setup that i used is given below.

******************************************
NOTE: mplsadm is located in the util directory.

                          Manual LSP beteen 2 hosts
                         ---------------------------

Setup
-----
 ---------             ---------
 |   A   |                              |   B   |
 ---------             ---------
     | eth0                            | eth0
     |10.1.6.18                     | 10.1.3.17
-----------------------------------


Config
------
On A:
  ping B
  arp B
  route add -host B gw B
  mplsadm -L gen:0:0:ipv4:localhost:B/32:eth0:MAC-of-B

On B:
  ping A
  arp A
  route add -host A gw A
  mplsadm -L gen:0:0:ipv4:localhost:A/32:eth0:MAC-of-A

Now you need to set a label space on eth0 on both A and B.  Watch out!
if you do this remotely you could saw your leg off!

On both:
  mplsadm -I eth0:0

Now all traffic between and and B is using the LSP.
********************************************
when i executed ldpd on both the machines , the protocol analyser
ethereal is recognising the LDP protocol.  but when i run the above
metioned script I am geting the following error messages.
against : mplsadm -I eth0:0     , I got : Label Space Result -1
against :mplsadm -L gen:0:0:ipv4:localhost:A/32:eth0:MAC-of-A     , I
got : LIB Result -1  .
can u please guide me through this problem .
Thanks &Regards,
Rasanth
