Configuring an LSP generation policy

LDP assigns labels to the routes that have been redistributed into LDP to generate LSPs. An LSP generation policy specifies which redistributed routes can be used by LDP to generate LSPs to control the number of LSPs, as follows:

By default, LDP uses only IPv4 host routes with a 32-bit mask to establish LSPs. The other two methods can result in more LSPs than the default policy. To change the policy, make sure the system resources and bandwidth resources are sufficient.

To configure an LSP generation policy:

Step

3. Configure an IPv4 LSP generation policy.

lsp-trigger { all | prefix-list prefix-list-name }

By default, LDP uses only the redistributed IPv4 routes with a 32-bit mask to establish LSPs.
