Configuring a label advertisement policy
A label advertisement policy uses IP prefix lists to control the FEC-label mappings advertised to peers.
As shown in Figure 14, LSR A advertises label mappings for FECs permitted by IP prefix list B to LSR B and advertises label mappings for FECs permitted by IP prefix list C to LSR C.

A label advertisement policy on an LSR and a label acceptance policy on its upstream LSR can achieve the same purpose. HP recommends that you use label advertisement policies to reduce network load if downstream LSRs support label advertisement control.
Before you configure an LDP label advertisement policy, create an IP prefix list. For information about IP prefix list configuration, see Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.
