Pinging RSVP-Signaled LSPs and LDP-Signaled LSPs

Enter the ping mpls command with the following syntax. Table 202 describes the ping mpls command options.


user@host> ping mpls (ldp fec | lsp-end-point prefix-name | rsvp lsp-name) <exp forwarding-class> <count number> <source source-address> <detail>

To quit the ping mpls command, press Ctrl-C.

Alternatively, you can use the J-Web interface. (See Checking MPLS Connections from the J-Web Interface.)

Table 202: CLI ping mpls ldp and ping mpls lsp-end-point Command Options

Description

ldp fec

Pings an LDP-signaled LSP identified by the forwarding equivalence class (FEC) prefix and length.

lsp-end-point prefix-name

Pings an LSP endpoint using either an LDP FEC or a RSVP LSP endpoint address.

rsvp lsp-name

Pings an RSVP-signaled LSP identified by the specified LSP name.

exp forwarding-class

(Optional) Specifies the value of the forwarding class to be used in the MPLS ping packets.

(Optional) Limits the number of ping requests to send. Specify a count from 0 through 1,000,000. The default value is 5. If you do not specify a count, ping requests are continuously sent until you press Ctrl-C.

Following is sample output from a ping mpls command:


user@host> ping mpls rsvp count 5

--- lsping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 60% packet loss
3 packets received with error status, not counted as received.

The fields in the display are the same as those displayed by the J-Web ping MPLS diagnostic tool. For information, see Ping MPLS Results and Output.
