Usage Guidelines

In an L2VPN access to L3VPN scenario, if all L3VPN-side links of an NPE become unavailable, a black-hole route comes into existence. The user-side UPE cannot detect the link failures and still sends traffic to the NPE. As a result, traffic loss occurs. To prevent traffic loss, run the mpls l2vpn track route command to configure the PW to track VPNv4 route status. Then, after the NPE detects that all its L3VPN-side links become unavailable, the NPE instructs the UPE to switch traffic to the secondary PW.
