Without TTL propagation
Follow these guidelines when you configure TTL propagation:
•
HP recommends setting the same TTL processing mode on all LSRs of an LSP.
•
To enable TTL propagation for a VPN, you must enable it on all PE devices in the VPN, so that you
can get the same traceroute result (hop count) from those PEs.
To enable TTL propagation:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enable TTL propagation.
mpls ttl propagate
{
public
|
vpn
}
By default, TTL propagation is enabled only
for public-network packets.
This command affects only the propagation
between IP TTL and label TTL. Within an
MPLS network, TTL is always copied between
the labels of an MPLS packet.
After TTL propagation is enabled or disabled, execute the
reset mpls ldp
command to make the
configuration take effect. For more information about the
reset mpls ldp
command, see
MPLS Command
Reference
.
Enabling sending of MPLS TTL-expired messages
This feature enables an LSR to generate an ICMP TTL-expired message upon receiving an MPLS packet
with a TTL of 1. If the MPLS packet has only one label, the LSR sends the ICMP TTL-expired message back
to the source through IP routing. If the MPLS packet has multiple labels, the LSR sends it along the LSP to
the egress, which then sends the message back to the source.
To enable sending of MPLS TTL-expired messages:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enable sending of MPLS
TTL-expired messages.
mpls ttl expiration enable
By default, this function is enabled.
