LDP Neighbor - Holdown / Discovery timer expired.

Hello,

I'm having an intermittent issue with LDP sessions dropping between one specific router and it's two peers.

Solution background:

We have 3 x 7201 (NPE-G2) running c7200p-spservicesk9-mz.150-1.M5.bin.

The routers are arranged in a "triangle" with a link to each router utilising G0/2 + 3 on each router, IGP is OSPF with all routers + loopbacks being in OSPF Area 0. OSPF RID + MPLS RID is Lo0.

Routers are called ABC-CORE-1, CCC-CORE-1, CBC-CORE1.

During the "outage" the DLP session between ABC->CBC remains constant without issue, however the LDP sessions with CCC-CORE1 both drop stating the following:

ABC-CORE-1#show log

I've just enabled MPLS IGP sync this morning aftere reading a few articles however I'm not convicnced that's going to make much difference, has anyone ever experieced this before?

Thanks,

Duncan.

Thanks,

Duncan.

For anyone that's interested I fixed this problem after some in depth troubleshooting.

Turns out the CCC router has CEF disabled.

I followed the through the following process:

Noticed flushes in the inteface counters -> researched SPD (selective packet discard) -> looked into CPU usage -> noticed IP Input process running 90%+, checked CEF with "show ip cef" showed a full adjancency table.

Checked the command "show cef interface"

Boom, "CEF Switching disabled" on every interface.

"no ip cef" "ip cef" , fixed.

For reference the running config did indeed show "ip cef" as entered and turned on.

Only thing I can think is when we upgraded from 12.4 to 15.0(1)M there was a glitch with CEF....

Very strange.
