Cisco Active Network Abstraction 3.6.6 MPLS User Guide
OL-19192-01
Preface
This guide describes how you can use Cisco Active Network Abstraction (Cisco ANA) to monitor and
manage networks using Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and how to monitor and manage Virtual
Private Networks (VPNs) run over MPLS networks. The guide describes how to use Cisco ANA to view
information specific to VPNs, MPLS fault management, service impact analysis, and MPLS traffic
engineering (TE) tunnels. Finally, the guide tells you to use path tracing capabilities of the Cisco ANA
PathTracer tool to identify problems in the MPLS network or VPNs.
