Configuring the Time-to-Live Propagation in Hierarchical MPLS
Perform this task to enable or disable the time-to-live (TTL) propagation for locally generated packets that
are independent of packets forwarded form a customer edge (CE) device.
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
configure
2.
mpls ip-ttl-propagate disable
[
forwarded
|
local
]
3.
Use the
commit
or
end
command.
DETAILED STEPS
Purpose
Command or Action
Enters global configuration mode.
configure
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
Step 1
Stops the propagation of IP TTL to and from the MPLS header. The example
shows how to disable IP TTL propagation for forwarded MPLS packets.
mpls ip-ttl-propagate disable
[
forwarded
|
local
]
Step 2
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#
mpls
forwarded
Prevents the
traceroute
command from showing the hops for the
forwarded packets.
ip-ttl-propagate disable forwarded
local
Prevents the
traceroute
command from showing the hops only for
local packets.
commit
—
Saves the configuration changes and remains within the
configuration session.
Use the
commit
or
end
command.
Step 3
end
—
Prompts user to take one of these actions:
•
Yes
—
Saves configuration changes and exits the configuration session.
•
No
—
Exits the configuration session without committing the
configuration changes.
•
Cancel
—
Remains in the configuration session, without committing the
configuration changes.
