show pfe data

Syntax

Description

Displays the Packet Forwarding Engine data. The Packet Forwarding Engine is the central processing element of the forwarding plane, systematically moving the packets in and out of the device. In Junos OS, the Packet Forwarding Engine has a locally stored forwarding table.

The forwarding table is a synchronized copy of all the information from the Route Engine that the forwarding plane needs to handle each packet, including outgoing interfaces, addresses, and so on. Storing a local copy of this information allows the Packet Forwarding Engine to get its job done without going to the control plane every time that it needs to process a packet.

The locally stored forwarding table allows the Packet Forwarding Engine to continue forwarding packets, even when a disruption occurs to the control plane, such as when a routing or other process issue happens.

Options

”usp flow config”

Displays current flow configuration in logical system root-logical-system.
