Export and Import Policy
and Prefix Aggregation with LDP
LDP and Export Policy
By default ALU only distribute a label only for its system addresses. To distribute additional other local
prefixes, “export policy” is used.
You can find an “export-policy” example below:
A:>config router policy-options
begin
prefix-list “interface1”
prefix 10.0.0.6/24
exit
policy-statement “LDP_Export_Policy1”
entry 10
from
prefix-list “interface1”
exit
action accept
exit
exit
exit

commit
To apply this “export policy” to an LDP, use the below command:
A:>config router ldp export “LDP_Export_Policy1”
LDP and Import Policy
By default ALU accepts all labels form all peers. But with “import policy” certain label bindings can be
rejected.
A:>config router policy-options
begin
policy-statement “LDP_Import_Policy1”
entry 10
action reject
exit
exit
commit
To apply this “import policy” to an LDP use the below command:
A:>config router ldp export “LDP_Import_Policy1”
LDP Aggregate Prefix Match
As you know we can do route summarization on routing protocols. By doing this, sometimes we cause
some missing information on the MPLS tables.
Think about two routes 10.0.0.1/32 and 10.0.0.2/32. If I summarize this like 10.0.0.0/24, then my MPLS
tables will be like below:
show router ldp bindings (LIB) => 10.0.0.1/32 and 10.0.0.2/32
show router fib 1 (FIB) => 10.0.0.0/24
show router ldp bindings active (LFIB) => Empty!!!
This is a problem. To avoid this situation, “aggregate-prefix-match” command must be issued under the
ldp. After the configuration, all the routes loaded in the LFIB.
A:>config router ldp aggregate-prefix-match
show router ldp bindings (LIB) => 10.0.0.1/32 and 10.0.0.2/32
show router fib 1 (FIB) => 10.0.0.0/24
show router ldp bindings active (LFIB) => 10.0.0.1/32 (push, swap) and 10.0.0.2/32 32 (push, swap)
This is also decrease the route table size in the big sized networks.
