Restrictions for MPLS LDP Autoconfiguration
In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)SY, the mpls ldp autoconfig command is supported only with OSPF.
Other IGPs are not supported.
If LDP is disabled globally, the mpls ldp autoconfigcommand fails and generates a console message
explaining that LDP must first be enabled globally by means of the global mpls ip command.
If the mpls ldp autoconfig command is configured for an IGP instance, you cannot issue the global no
mpls ip command. To disable LDP, you must first issue the no mpls ldp autoconfig command.
For interfaces running IS-IS processes, you can enable Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) for
each interface, using the router mode command mpls ldp autoconfig or mpls ldp igp autoconfig at
the interface level.
You specify that the default label distribution protocol is LDP for a router or for an interface. Tag
Distribution Protocol (TDP) is not supported.
The MPLS LDP Autoconfiguration feature is not supported on traffic engineering tunnel interfaces.
