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.
The system view is displayed.
An NQA test instance is created and the test instance view is displayed.
The test type is set to PWE3 Ping.
The method of setting up a PW is configured.
The type of the local PW is configured. By default, the type is Ethernet.
A protocol is configured for the LSP test instance.
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.
The ID of the local end of the PW is configured.
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.
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.
