Usage guidelines
The mpls ttl expiration enable command enables an LSR to generate an ICMP TTL-expired message upon
receiving an MPLS packet with TTL being 1. If the MPLS packet has only one label, the LSR sends the ICMP
TTL-expired message back to the source through IP routing. If the MPLS packet has multiple labels, the LSR
forwards the ICMP TTL-expired message along the LSP of the MPLS packet to the egress, which then sends
the message back to the source.
Examples
# Disable the MPLS TTL-expired messages sending function.

Parameters
public: Specifies public network packets.
vpn: Specifies VPN packets.
Usage guidelines
When TTL propagation is enabled, MPLS copies the IP TTL to the label TTL for packets entering the MPLS
network, and copies the label TTL to the IP TTL for packets leaving the MPLS network. If you enable TTL
propagation on both the ingress and egress, the IP tracert facility can show the real path in the MPLS
network.
