6PE unspecified route question

dean holroyd
Level 1
Level 1

does anyone know why an unspecified route originated via a neighbor default-originate command in a 6PE environment does not have a label sent along with it?

no label makes it unusable in the 6PE environment as the receiving router sees the prefix as inaccessible, so is this a bug or am i missing something?

see the comparison of an unspecified prefix and gloabl unicast advertised over a 6PE session

Hello Dean,

in ipv4 we need a command to associate a label to a default route ( I know for LDP binding)

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/mpls/command/reference/mp_m1.html#wp1013700

mpls ip default-route

I don't know if an mpls ipv6 default-route command exists, but a default route is a special case.

if you are using IPv4 addresses mapped in IPv6 I would try to enable the above command.

Hope to help

Giuseppe
