In the figure, an administrator needs to enable MPLS LDP on R1 to R4.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

To determine the correct configuration, we need to analyze how MPLS LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) is correctly enabled on a Huawei router.

1. Required Steps to Enable MPLS LDP on R1

To enable MPLS LDP on R1 and establish LDP sessions, the following steps must be followed:

✅ Step 1: Configure the MPLS LSR ID (Loopback IP recommended)

MPLS LSR ID is a unique identifier for the Label Switch Router (LSR).

Command:

shell

CopyEdit

mpls lsr-id 1.1.1.1

Why?

The LSR ID must be configured for LDP to function properly in an MPLS network.

It is usually set to a loopback address for stability and consistency.

✅ Step 2: Enable MPLS Globally

Command:

shell

CopyEdit

mpls

Why?

This enables MPLS forwarding on the device.

✅ Step 3: Enable MPLS LDP Globally

Command:

shell

CopyEdit

mpls ldp

Why?

LDP is needed for label distribution in the MPLS domain.

Without this, routers cannot exchange MPLS labels.

✅ Step 4: Enable MPLS and LDP on the Required Interface

Command:

shell

CopyEdit

interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1

mpls

mpls ldp

Why?

MPLS must be enabled on interfaces that participate in MPLS forwarding.

LDP must also be enabled on these interfaces to distribute labels over MPLS links.

2. Analyzing the Answer Choices

✅ Option B (Correct)

shell

CopyEdit

[R1] mpls lsr-id 1.1.1.1 ✅ (Sets LSR ID)

[R1] mpls ✅ (Enables MPLS globally)

[R1-mpls] quit

[R1] mpls ldp ✅ (Enables LDP globally)

[R1-mpls-ldp] quit

[R1] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1

[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] mpls ✅ (Enables MPLS on interface)

[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] mpls ldp ✅ (Enables LDP on interface)

[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit

This configuration correctly enables MPLS LDP on R1.

All required steps are followed, including the LSR ID, MPLS, LDP, and interface activation.

❌ Option A (Incorrect)

shell

CopyEdit

[R1] mpls lsr-id 1.1.1.1

[R1] mpls

[R1-mpls] quit

[R1] mpls ldp

[R1-mpls-ldp] quit

[R1] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1

[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] mpls ✅

[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit ❌ (Missing "mpls ldp" under interface)

Missing mpls ldp under interface configuration.

Without this, the interface will not establish an LDP session → Incorrect.

❌ Option C (Incorrect)

shell

CopyEdit

[R1] mpls

[R1-mpls] quit

[R1] mpls ldp

[R1-mpls-ldp] quit

[R1] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1

[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] mpls

[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] mpls ldp

[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit

Missing mpls lsr-id 1.1.1.1.

LSR ID is critical for LDP sessions → Incorrect.

❌ Option D (Incorrect)

shell

CopyEdit

[R1] mpls lsr-id 1.1.1.1

[R1] mpls

[R1-mpls] quit

[R1] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1

[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] mpls

[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] mpls ldp

[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit

Missing global MPLS LDP configuration (mpls ldp).

Without enabling LDP globally, labels will not be distributed.

This makes LDP sessions fail. → Incorrect.
