Hi,
Mr Thorsten, I appreciate the help provided. However, I do not quite
understand your way of configuring the 2 PCs. This is what I have done..
maybe if u have the time, you can advice me further on the things I have
missed out.
I have just 2 Linux PCs joined together by a Ethernet cable. Both PCs
have the most recent MPLS patch
applied to kernel 2.4.13. To configure them, I performed these precise steps
in the exact order as typed.
a) LSR A:
1) ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1
2) ifconfig lo 10.0.0.1
3) ip addr add 10.0.0.1/32 dev lo
4) ip route add 10.0.0.2/32 via 192.168.0.2
b) LSR B:
1) ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2
2) ifconfig lo 10.0.0.2
3) ip addr add 10.0.0.2/32 dev lo
4) ip route add 10.0.0.1/32 via 192.168.0.1
c) LSR A:
1) Start ldp_linux.
2) add global 10.0.0.1
3) add interface eth0
d) LSR B:
1) Start ldp_linux.
2) add global 10.0.0.2
3) add interface eth0
On both PCs, I sniffed the line using Ethereal.
I encountered the following problem. A session seemed to be established
as show "database" and show "session" do produce some results. But when I
tried to read the /proc/net/mpls_* files, they were all blank. I assume that
means that no
labels have been binded yet? I don't really know why.
I will greatly appreciate any advice from you or anyone else who can
help. Have been stuck at this for some time.
BTW, has anyone come up with a more complete/reliable implementation of
LDP, that may also support ATM LSRs?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Paul
