Tracing VPLS Traffic and Operations
To trace VPLS traffic, include the traceoptions statement:
traceoptions {file filename <files number> <size size> <world-readable | no-world-readable>;flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>;}
You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:
- [edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols vpls]
- [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols vpls]
The following trace flags display the operations associated with VPLS:
- all—All VPLS tracing options
- connections—VPLS connections (events and state changes)
- error—Error conditions
- nlri—VPLS advertisements received or sent using BGP
- route—Trace-routing information
- topology—VPLS topology changes caused by reconsideration or advertisements received from other PE routers using BGP
