Verifying Connectivity of the VPLS Network

Context

To check connectivity of a VPLS network, run the following functions on PE devices.

Procedure

  • Checking VPLS network connectivity

    • Run the ping vpls mac mac-address vsi vsi-name [ vlan vlan-id | -c count | -m time-value | -s packsize | -t timeout | -exp exp | -r replymode | -h ttl ]* command to check connectivity of the Layer 2 forwarding link on the VPLS network.

    • Run the ping vpls [ -c echo-number | -m time-value | -s data-bytes | -t timeout-value | -r reply-mode | -exp exp-value | -v ] * vsi vsi-name local-site-id remote-site-id command to check connectivity of the link between PEs on the Kompella VPLS network.

    • Run the ping vpls [ -c echo-number | -m time-value | -s data-bytes | -t timeout-value | -r reply-mode | -exp exp-value | -v ] * vsi vsi-name peer peer-address [ negotiate-vc-id vc-id ] command to check connectivity of the link between PEs on the Martini or BGP AD VPLS network.

    • Run the ping vpls multicast vsi vsi-name [ -a source-ip-address | -c count | -s packetsize | -t timeout | -m interval | -r replymode | -exp exp | -v ] * dest-ip-address command to start an MFIB ping test with a specified VSI in the VPLS domain.

    • Run the trace vpls mac mac-address vsi vsi-name [ vlan vlan-id ] [-t timeout | -f first-ttl | -m max-ttl | -exp exp | -r replymode ]* command to check PEs and P devices along the PW on the VPLS network and locate faulty nodes.

    • Run the tracert vpls [ -exp exp-value | -f first-ttl | -m max-ttl | -r reply-mode | -t timeout-value ] * vsi vsi-name peer peer-address [ negotiate-vc-id vc-id ] [ full-lsp-path ] command to check connectivity of the Martini or BGP AD VPLS network.

    • Run the tracert vpls multicast vsi vsi-name [ -a source-ip-address | -t timeout | -r reply-mode | -exp exp | -f first-ttl | -m max-ttl ] * multicast-address multicast-ip-address remote-address remote-ip-address command to start an MFIB Trace test with a specified VSI in the VPLS domain.

  • Checking ping/trace packet statistics

    • Run the display vpls multicast-ping statistics command to check the number of sent and received MFIB ping packets.

    • Run the display vpls multicast-trace statistics command to check the number of sent and received MFIB trace packets.

    • Run the display vpls-ping statistics command to check the number of sent and received VPLS MAC ping packets.

    • Run the display vpls-trace statistics command to check the number of sent and received VPLS MAC trace packets.

  • Clearing ping/trace packet statistics

    • Run the reset vpls multicast-ping statistics command to clear VPLS MFIB ping packet statistics.

    • Run the reset vpls multicast-trace statistics command to clear VPLS MFIB trace packet statistics.

    • Run the reset vpls-ping statistics command to clear VPLS MAC ping statistics.

    • Run the reset vpls-trace statistics command to clear VPLS MAC trace statistics.
