Using Tracert to Check the Forwarding Path on a P2MP MPLS Network

Run the tracert commands to check path information on a Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) MPLS network so that faults can be located.

Usage Scenario

On a VPLS over P2MP network, tracert can be used to check the following tunnels:

  • P2MP label distribution protocol (LDP) label switched paths (LSPs)
  • P2MP TE tunnels that are automatically generated

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before using tracert to check the P2MP network connectivity, ensure that P2MP is correctly configured.

Procedure

  1. Run the tracert multicast-lsp command to check path information about the following tunnels on a VPLS over P2MP network:

    • VPLS over P2MP LDP LSPs

      tracert multicast-lsp [ -a source-ip | -exp exp-value | -h ttl-value | -j jitter-value | -r reply-mode | -t time-out | t-flag ] * mldp p2mp root-ip root-ip-address { lsp lsp-id | opaque-value opaque-value } [ detail ]

    • VPLS over P2MP TE tunnels that are automatically generated

      tracert multicast-lsp [ -a source-ip | -exp exp-value | -h ttl-value | -j jitter-value | -r reply-mode | -t time-out | t-flag ] * te-auto-tunnel auto-tunnel-name [ leaf-destination leaf-destination ] [ detail ]
