Customizing LDP Static Route Parameters
A static route is a manually configured route that specifies the transmission path
that a datagram must follow, based on the datagram’s destination address. A static
route specifies a transmission path to another network. You configure a static route
when you want to restrict datagrams to paths that you specifically configure.
MPLS can use static routes to distribute LDP information throughout the MPLS
network.
If you intend to use IP static routes over MPLS, you must define the IP static route
prefix and the route mask for LDP. Defining the route prefix and mask does not
configure the static route. Instead, these parameters provide information to LDP
about the static routes that you configure.
The following parameters define the use of static routes by MPLS.
Enabling and Disabling Static Routes
By default, static routes are disabled on the MPLS interface. Accept the default,
Disable, if you do not want MPLS to use LDP static routes over the interface.
Specify Enable for MPLS to use LDP static routes over the interface.
To enable and disable LDP static routes, complete the following tasks:
Note:
You can configure IP static routes before or after you configure MPLS.
For information about static routes or how to configure them, see Configuring
IP, ARP, RIP, and OSPF Services.
