You are doing MDT?

Hmm, my excitement was short-lived there. Now my multicast tunnel
between the two PE routers is broken after disabling "mpls ip" on the
interfaces.
Any idea?

Wow, tx a lot Roman, it's working now without "mpls ip" on the SP
interfaces. I only had the TE tunnel configured only on the one PE. Much
appreciated.

Hello,

You don't need LDP in order to run MPLS VPN over TE tunnels. When you
say you "disable LDP on the interfaces", I assume you are disabling
"mpls ip" on the physical interfaces. In a simple CE1 - PE1 - P - PE2 -
CE2 network, make sure you have a TE tunnel from PE1 to PE2 and from PE2
to PE1. Make sure you are using "tunnel mpls traff autoroute announce"
so that PE1 and PE2 loopbacks are reachable via TE tunnels instead of
the IGP path. You can remove LDP between PE1, P and PE2 router, and your
MPLS L3VPN will work.

By the way, you don't need "mpls ip" on the TE tunnel interfaces if
their headends and tailends are on PE routers (not on P routers).

If you have a specific scenario, please present.

Hi

I am finding it diffucult to understand whether RSVP TE can be run
instead of LDP/TDP. I am able to establish the tunnel with TE but when I
disable LDP on the interfaces, my VPN sites cannot ping each other,
until such time I enable LDP. Is this normal? With MPLS VPNs do we
always have to run either LDP/TDP and have RSVP also if we want TE?

Tx.
