monitor trace configuration modes.

Usage Guidelines
Use the
exp
command to set the MPLS experimental field in the headers of echo request packets in an MPLS
LSP ping or MPLS LSP trace operation. The experimental (EXP) field allows for eight different
quality-of-service (QoS) markings that determine the treatment (per-hop behavior) that a transit LSR node
gives to a request packet. You can configure different MPLS EXP levels for different operations to create
differentiated levels of response.
If the
exp
command is used in IP SLA operation mode, it acts on the headers of echo request packets for the
specific operation being configured. If the
exp
command is used in IP SLA MPLS LSP monitor mode, it acts
on the headers of echo request packets for all operations associated with the monitored provider edge (PE)
routers. This configuration is inherited by all LSP operations that are created automatically.
