Configuring a PWE3 Ping Test Instance on a Single-Hop PW

Context

An NQA PWE3 ping test checks the reachability of an MPLS-based PW.

The PWE3 ping test provides functions similar to the ping vc command but provides richer outputs.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run nqa test-instance admin-name test-name

    An NQA test instance is created and the test instance view is displayed.

  3. Run test-type pwe3ping

    The test type is set to PWE3 Ping.

  4. (Optional) Run vc-type ldp

    The method of setting up a PW is configured.

  5. (Optional) Run local-pw-type local-pw-type

    The type of the local PW is configured. By default, the type is Ethernet.

  6. Run lsp-version { rfc4379 | draft6 }

    A protocol is configured for the LSP test instance.

  7. (Optional) Run label-type { control-word | { label-alert | normal } [ no-control-word ] }

    The type of the PW label is configured.

    If the PW label type is set to control-word, the control word feature must be enabled for the PW.

  8. Run local-pw-id local-pw-id

    The ID of the local end of the PW is configured.

  9. (Optional) Run peer-address peer-address

    A peer IP address is configured.

    For an NQA PWE3 ping or trace test instance, if the primary and secondary VCs are configured with the same VC ID, the peer-address command must be configured to specify a peer IP address. This configuration determines a unique PW for the NQA test.

  10. (Optional) Run the following commands to configure other parameters for the PWE3 ping test:

    • To configure the response mode of the Echo packet, run the lsp-replymode { no-reply | udp } command.

    • To configure the LSP EXP value, run the lsp-exp exp command.
