MPLS inter-AS VPN (Option B ) issue

[aircel.dishnet]

Hi All,

Please see the below network diagram.

Provivder 1 PE -----Provider 1 ABSR(NNI) -----    EBGP -----------Provider 2 ASBR ( NNI )   ----   -EBGP-------Provider 2 PE

We are facing one problem with this solution ie.Provider 2 ASBR is not allocating label for default route and it is allocation proper label for all the other prefixes. So customer can't able to use the default route.

Please help on this.

Thanks ,

Arun Mohan

Hi Arun,

Have you tried the following:

R1(config)#mpls ip ? 

  default-route   Allow MPLS forwarding for ip default route

  propagate-ttl   Propagate IP TTL into the label stack

  ttl-expiration  Control MPLS TTL expiration behavior

R1(config)#mpls ip default-route

Hello Arun,

Not sure if I hae understood your prolem correctly. Does the solution include running "eBGP" P2 ASBR (NNI) and PE2? Shouldn't this be ibgp? Can you please confirm this. Second thing is if you are having a default route in the "core", my understanding is that you will see the label bindings in the control plane, but forwarding plane will actually show nothing. You can confirm this by this command:

show mpls ldp bindings

show mpls forwarding
