Macro names must start with a letter, digit, or underscore, and may contain any of those characters. Macro names may not be reserved words (for example, .Ic password ) . Macros are not expanded inside quotes. .Pp For example: .Bd -literal -offset indent secret="openbsd" neighbor 10.0.1.5 { password $secret } .Ed .Sh GLOBAL CONFIGURATION Several settings can be configured globally or within a more restricted scope, like per address-family or per interface. The only settings that can be set globally and not overruled are listed below. .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -compact .It Xo .Ic ds-cisco-interop .Pq Ic yes Ns | Ns Ic no .Xc If set to .Ic yes , Cisco non-compliant format will be used to send and interpret the Dual-Stack capability TLV. The default is .Ic no . .Pp .It Xo .Ic fib-update .Pq Ic yes Ns | Ns Ic no .Xc If set to .Ic no , do not update the Label Forwarding Information Base, a.k.a. the kernel routing table. The default is .Ic yes . .Pp .It Ic router-id Ar address Set the router ID; in combination with labelspace it forms the LSR-ID. If not specified, the numerically lowest IP address of the router will be used. .Pp .It Xo .Ic transport-preference .Pq Ic ipv4 Ns | Ns Ic ipv6 .Xc Specify the preferred address-family for TCP transport connections. If two dual-stack LSRs preferences does not match, no LDP session will be established. The default is .Ic ipv6 . .El .Sh ADDRESS-FAMILY CONFIGURATION Each address-family can have several parameters configured individually, otherwise they are inherited. .Bd -literal -offset indent address-family ipv6 { explicit-null yes transport-address 2001:db8::50 interface em0 } .Ed .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -compact .It Xo .Ic explicit-null .Pq Ic yes Ns | Ns Ic no .Xc If set to .Ic yes , advertise explicit-null labels in place of implicit-null labels for directly connected prefixes. The default is .Ic no . .Pp .It Xo .Ic gtsm-enable .Pq Ic yes Ns | Ns Ic no .Xc If set to .Ic yes , .Xr ldpd 8 will use the GTSM procedures described in RFC 6720 (for the IPv4 address-family) and RFC 7552 (for the IPv6 address-family). .Pp Since GTSM is mandatory for LDPv6, the only effect of disabling GTSM for the IPv6 address-family is that .Xr ldpd 8 will not check the incoming packets' hop limit. Outgoing packets will still be sent using a hop limit of 255 to guarantee interoperability. .Pp If GTSM is enabled, multi-hop neighbors should have either GTSM disabled individually or configured with an appropriate gtsm-hops distance. The default is .Ic yes . .Pp .It Ic keepalive Ar seconds Set the keepalive timeout in seconds. The default value is 180; valid range is 3\-65535. .Pp .It Xo .Ic targeted-hello-accept .Pq Ic yes Ns | Ns Ic no .Xc If set to .Ic yes , allow LDP sessions to be established with remote neighbors that have not been specifically configured. The default is .Ic no . .Pp .It Ic transport-address Ar address Set the local address to be used in the TCP sessions. For the IPv4 address-family, the router-id will be used if this option is not specified. For the IPv6 address-family, this option must be specified. .El .Sh INTERFACES Each interface can have several parameters configured individually, otherwise they are inherited. .Bd -literal -offset indent address-family ipv4 { interface em0 { link-hello-holdtime 9 link-hello-interval 3 } } .Ed .Pp Interface-specific parameters are listed below. .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Ic link-hello-holdtime Ar seconds Set the hello holdtime in seconds. The maximum time .Xr ldpd 8 will wait between two consecutive hello messages from a peer before it is marked as being down. The default value is 15; valid range is 3\-65535. .It Ic link-hello-interval Ar seconds Set the hello interval in seconds. The default value is 5; valid range is 1\-65535. .El .Sh TARGETED NEIGHBORS Each targeted neighbor can have several parameters configured individually, otherwise they are inherited. .Bd -literal -offset indent address-family ipv4 { targeted-neighbor A.B.C.D { targeted-hello-holdtime 90 targeted-hello-interval 10 } } address-family ipv6 { targeted-neighbor 2001:db8::1 } .Ed .Pp Targeted-neighbor specific parameters are listed below. .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Ic targeted-hello-holdtime Ar seconds Set the hello holdtime in seconds. The maximum time .Xr ldpd 8 will wait between two consecutive hello messages from a peer before it is marked as being down. The default value is 45. .It Ic targeted-hello-interval Ar seconds Set the hello interval in seconds. The default value is 5; valid range is 1\-65535. .El .Sh NEIGHBORS The .Ic neighbor section allows for the configuration of neighbor-specific parameters. Note, however, that .Xr ldpd 8 uses the hello discovery mechanism to discover its neighbors. Without an underlying adjacency these commands have no effect. A neighbor is identified by its LSR-ID, not by its remote address. The neighbor-specific parameters apply for both LDPoIPv4 and LDPoIPv6 sessions. .Bd -literal -offset indent neighbor A.B.C.D { } .Ed .Pp Neighbor-specific parameters are listed below. .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Ic keepalive Ar seconds Set the keepalive timeout in seconds. Inherited from the global configuration if not given. Valid range is 3\-65535. .It Xo .Ic gtsm-enable .Pq Ic yes Ns | Ns Ic no .Xc Override the inherited configuration and enable/disable GTSM for this neighbor. .It Ic gtsm-hops Ar hops Set the maximum number of hops the neighbor may be away. When GTSM is enabled for this neighbor, incoming packets are required to have a TTL/hop limit of 256 minus this value, ensuring they have not passed through more than the expected number of hops. The default value is 1; valid range is 1\-255. .It Ic password Ar secret Enable TCP MD5 signatures per RFC 5036. .El .Sh LAYER 2 VPNS .Xr ldpd 8 implements the signaling of pseudowires which can be used to implement either the VPWS solution (also known as PWE3) or the VPLS solution. Currently only the VPLS solution is supported. .Bd -literal -offset indent l2vpn name type vpls { bridge bridge0 interface em1 pseudowire mpw1 { pw-id 100 neighbor-id 192.168.1.10 } pseudowire mpw2 { pw-id 200 neighbor-id 10.0.1.5 } } .Ed .Pp Layer 2 VPN specific parameters are listed below. .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Ic bridge Ar interface Set the bridge interface the VPLS is associated with. This parameter is optional and is only used to remove MAC addresses received from MAC address withdrawal messages. Only one bridge interface can be set. .It Ic interface Ar interface Configure a non pseudowire interface pertaining to the VPLS. This parameter is optional and is only used to send MAC address withdrawal messages when the specified interface is shutdown. Multiple interfaces can be configured. .It Ic mtu Ar number Set the MTU advertised in the pseudowires. Local and remote MTUs must match for a pseudowire to be set up. The default value is 1500. .It Xo .Ic type .Pq Ic ethernet Ns | Ns Ic ethernet-tagged .Xc Specify the type of the configured pseudowires. The type must be the same at both endpoints. The default is .Ic ethernet . .El .Sh PSEUDOWIRES Each .Xr mpw 4 pseudowire interface can have several parameters configured individually, otherwise they are inherited. A pseudowire interface is specified by its name. .Bd -literal -offset indent pseudowire mpw5 { pw-id 5000 neighbor-id 172.16.1.50 } .Ed .Pp Pseudowire-specific parameters are listed below. .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Xo .Ic control-word .Pq Ic yes Ns | Ns Ic no .Xc Specify whether the use of the control word is preferred or not preferred. The default is .Ic yes . .It Ic neighbor-addr Ar address Specify the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the remote endpoint of the pseudowire. A targeted neighbor will automatically be created for this address. By default, the LSR-ID of the remote endpoint of the pseudowire will be used. .It Ic neighbor-id Ar address Specify the LSR-ID of the remote endpoint of the pseudowire. .It Ic pw-id Ar number Set the PW ID used to identify the pseudowire. The PW ID must be the same at both endpoints. Valid range is 1\-4294967295. .It Xo .Ic status-tlv .Pq Ic yes Ns | Ns Ic no .Xc Specify whether the use of the Status TLV is preferred or not preferred. The default is .Ic yes . .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width "/etc/ldpd.conf" -compact .It Pa /etc/ldpd.conf .Xr ldpd 8 configuration file .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ldpctl 8 , .Xr ldpd 8 , .Xr rc.conf.local 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm file format first appeared in .Ox 4.6 .
