Hello,

1

R1-R4 run MPLS and LDP, but does not run BGP. R1 accesses 4.4.4.4 through MPLS forwarding. 

On R3, summarize the routes to 4.4.4.4/32 into 4.4.4.0/24 and suppress specific routes. What problems may occur in this case?

Hi,

R3 summarizes routes destined for 4.4.4.4 to 4.4.4.0/24. In this case, R3 does not generate a label for summarization route and send it to R2 for the following two reasons: 

1.  By default, LDP allocates labels only to 32-bit host routes. 

2.  In R3, the local routing table does not contain the summarization route, and labels cannot be assigned to the summarization route. By default, MPLS uses the ordered label distribution mode. So R2 does not distribute the FEC 4.4.4.0/24 label to R1 if it does not receive the label sent by R3. Therefore, when R1 accesses 4.4.4.4, data packets are forwarded based on IP addresses from R1 to R3, and packets are forwarded based on MPLS labels from R3 to R4.

1. Run the lsp-trigger all command to enable LDP to allocate labels to all static routes and IGP routes.
2. On R3, configure the summarized route to point to null 0.
