LDP ID

[maanyagoel]

Hello,

My LDP router id, OSPF router id and BGP router id is different, will it work to forward the traffic of customers or not?

Thanks in Advance

It will work like a charm, from forwarding prospective router-id's are irrelevant. They are being used for control-plane negotiations, stae-machines etc.

Just wondeiring, however, how and why one could come up with such implementation...

It will be confusing when configuring EoMPLS xconnects and other features.

As you then configure BGP to one IP, and xconnect to a different IP.

You better configure a loopback interface so all processes get their ID from it and all will be safe.

Pay attention you will have to reboot the router after you create that Loopback if you are to change the router-id.

for the router-id to reflect a newly configured interface/value it isn't necessary to undergo a reboot. For LDP one could use 'force' knob, for IGPs/BGP the routing process should be restarted.
