LDP Autoconfiguration
LDP is enabled on an interface by configuring the interface command mpls ip. On an LSR, LDP is usually enabled on all the interfaces on which the IGP is enabled. Much easier than configuring mpls ip on every interface separately is enabling LDP Autoconfiguration for the IGP. Every interface on which the IGP is running then has LDP enabled. The OSPF router command to enable LDP Autoconfiguration is this:
mpls ldp autoconfig [area area-id]
