Re: [mpls-linux-general] LDP config... confused!

[<sam...@ya...>]

Hello James and all,

I included a dummy interface with a /32 address and
tried the procedure over again. It worked!! ... though
only partially, as it created incoming labels on both
the hosts that I was working on. But it did not create
any outgoing labels.

Any reason, why this should happen?

thanks in advance!

cheers,
Sameer
