RE: mpls ldp authentication question !!

Is the ldp neighbor relationship the only requirement? Is tagging required? If not, you can turn off ldp on the interface on pe1 and pe2 (no mpls ip), and then configure two neighbors with a targeted session (mpls ldp neighbor x.x.x.x target) in addition to password command. This will prevent pe3 from establishing ldp session. But tagging won't work between pe1 and pe2. Labels will be exchanged but forwarding table will say 'untagged'.

Otherwise, if IOS supports it, use command that John mentioned earlier.

Dear senior consultatant,

You are blocking (IGP) adjacency with other one to prevent LDP session from
forming? nice solution.

So is LDP authentication a valid solution or not?
