The ping mpls commands diagnose the connectivity of MPLS and VPN networks in
the following ways:
■ Pinging RSVP-Signaled LSPs and LDP-Signaled LSPs on page 233
■ Pinging Layer 3 VPNs on page 234
■ Pinging Layer 2 VPNs on page 235
■ Pinging Layer 2 Circuits on page 236
Pinging RSVP-Signaled LSPs and LDP-Signaled LSPs
Enter the ping mpls command with the following syntax. Table 117 on page 233
describes the ping mpls command options.
user@host> ping mpls (ldp fec | lsp-end-point prefix-name | rsvp lsp-name)
<exp forwarding-class> <count number> <source source-address> <detail>
To quit the ping mpls command, press Ctrl-C.
Alternatively, you can use the J-Web interface. (See “Checking MPLS Connections
from the J-Web Interface” on page 219.)
Table 117: CLI ping mpls ldp and ping mpls lsp-end-point Command Options
DescriptionOption
Pings an LDP-signaled LSP identified by the forwarding equivalence class (FEC) prefix and length.
ldp fec
Pings an LSP endpoint using either an LDP FEC or a RSVP LSP endpoint address.
lsp-end-point prefix-name
Pings an RSVP-signaled LSP identified by the specified LSP name.
rsvp lsp-name
(Optional) Specifies the value of the forwarding class to be used in the MPLS ping packets.
exp forwarding-class
(Optional) Limits the number of ping requests to send. Specify a count from 0 through 1,000,000.
The default value is 5. If you do not specify a count, ping requests are continuously sent until
you press Ctrl-C.
countnumber
(Optional) Uses the source address that you specify, in the ping request packet.
source source-address
(Optional) Displays detailed output about the echo requests sent and received. Detailed output
includes the MPLS labels used for each request and the return codes for each request.
