A disabled interface IP address is kept in the routing table and has a rejected nexthop. This may prevent MPLS LSP from establishing due to a loop being detected if the ingress router is using this IP as well.

To avoid this issue, use the command, 'deactivate interface/IP' instead of 'disable' to completely remove the IP from routing table.

Here is the topology. LSP was created from R1 100.1.1.1 to R3 103.1.1.1. ae2 on R3 has the same IP configured as R1's ae1 due to migration. ae2 was disabled in order to prevent the IP from advertising into IGP.

By design, the disabled interface will have it's IP in the routing table with a Reject nexthop. It will prevent it from being advertised into IGP. But RSVP can still use it for loop detection. Here is the route 10.1.1.1 showing in R3's inet.0 table.

lab@R3> show route 10.1.1.1

inet.0: 30688 destinations, 30696 routes (30686 active, 0 holddown, 2 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

10.1.1.1/32    *[Local/0] 00:00:11
                      Reject

When R1 initiated the LSP, it will send out RSPV path message and put it’s output interface IP 10.1.1.1 in RRO for loop detection purposes. When R3 receives this path message, it will compare the RRO list with the local addresses in the inet.0 routing table. It found its local address 10.1.1.1 appeared in RRO, so it returned path error message to R1 indicating that there is a loop. Once R1 receives the path error message, it stopped further LSP calculation and reported loop was detected.

Using the command, 'deactivate interface/IP' instead of 'disable' will completely remove the IP from R3's routing table and avoid this type of issue.

Example:

lab@R3# deactivate interfaces ae2
