A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot an MPLS L3VPN issue:

R1# show mpls ldp neighbor detail

Output: Peer LDP Ident: 10.0.0.2:0, Local LDP Ident: 10.0.0.1:0 TCP connection: 10.0.0.2.646 - 10.0.0.1.17905 State: Oper, Msg sent: 123, Msg rcvd: 456 Up time: 1w2d LDP discovery sources: GigabitEthernet0/0, Src IP addr: 10.12.0.2 Addresses bound to peer LDP Ident:

10.0.0.2        10.12.0.2

Peer hold time: 15 sec

What does this output indicate?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

The LDP session is up and stable

The output shows LDP neighbor details. The peer is 10.0.0.2, the session is operational (State: Oper) and has been up for 1 week and 2 days. The discovery source is GigabitEthernet0/0 with source IP 10.12.0.2. The peer's addresses include 10.0.0.2 (loopback) and 10.12.0.2 (interface).

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • The LDP session is up and stable

    Why this is correct

    State is Oper, up time is 1w2d, indicating a stable session.

  • The LDP session is using UDP

    Why it's wrong here

    LDP uses TCP, as shown by the TCP connection line.

  • The LDP session is down

    Why it's wrong here

    State is Oper, meaning operational.

  • The LDP peer is using a different LDP ID

    Why it's wrong here

    The peer LDP Ident is 10.0.0.2:0, which matches the expected.

Variation 1. A network engineer runs the following command on Router P1: P1# show mpls ldp neighbor Peer LDP Ident: 10.0.0.2:0, Local LDP Ident: 10.0.0.1:0 TCP connection: 10.0.0.2.646 - 10.0.0.1.48632 State: Oper, Msgs sent/rcvd: 120/118, Downstream Up time: 00:12:34 LDP discovery sources: GigabitEthernet0/0, Src IP addr: 10.1.1.2 Addresses bound to peer LDP Ident: 10.0.0.2 192.168.1.1 Based on this output, which statement is correct?

medium
  • A.The LDP session is down.
  • B.The LDP session is up and functioning correctly.
  • C.The router is not receiving label bindings from the neighbor.
  • D.The LDP router ID is misconfigured.

Why B: The show mpls ldp neighbor output shows a single LDP neighbor with IP 10.0.0.2. The state is 'Oper' (operational), and the neighbor has been up for 12 minutes. The output indicates a healthy LDP session.
