# Quickstart with LDP daemon

Step 1: Boot an MPLS enabled kernel - see [[MPLS]] <BR>
Step 2: Run /usr/sbin/ldpd<BR>
Step 3: Add some routes to neighbors bindings and see routes being automatically tagged or just use zebra/quagga in order to do avoid manual routes<BR>
Step 4: You can look over some reports on control interface: telnet localhost 2626 - use root password - and use question mark for help<BR>
