Re: [mpls-linux-general] Do we must have mpls-linux enabled kernel when we test LDP

[James R. L. <jl...@mi...>]

If you want to test quagga-mpls without a MPLS-linux kernel you
can change zebra/Makefile.am:

-mpls_method =3D mpls_netlink.o
+mpls_method =3D mpls_null.o

Then recompile.  The result is that everything from a signaling perspective
is the same. (LDP sends zebra API messages to zebra, zebra populates is
MPLS database).  The only thing that changes is none of the MPLS segments
are created in the forwarding plane.
