MPLS OAM Configuration
This chapter describes the basic principles of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) operation, administration and maintenance (OAM). It also describes how to configure MPLS OAM to monitor label switched paths (LSPs) and pseudo wires (PWs) and provides configuration examples.
Only the NetEngine 8000 F1A supports this chapter.
- Overview of MPLS OAM
- MPLS OAM can effectively detect, identify, and locate faults at the MPLS client layer and quickly switch traffic if links or nodes fail.
- Configuring MPLS OAM for an Associated Bidirectional LSP
- This section describes how to configure MPLS OAM to check the connectivity of an associated bidirectional LSP.
- Configuring MPLS OAM for a Static Bidirectional Co-routed LSP
- This section describes how to configure MPLS OAM to check the connectivity of a static bidirectional co-routed LSP.
- Configuring MPLS OAM for a PW
- This section describes how to configure MPLS OAM to check the connectivity of a PW.
- Maintaining MPLS OAM
- This section describes how to clear Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) statistics and monitor the MPLS OAM operating status.
- Configuration Examples for MPLS OAM
- This section provides configuration examples for MPLS OAM for a static associated bidirectional LSP, static bidirectional co-routed LSP, and PW.
