Chapter 3 Configuring Remote Access to MPLS VPN
Monitoring and Maintaining the MPLS VPN
Verifying the PE to CE Routing Protocol
If the CE router uses a routing protocol other than BGP (for example, RIP or OSPF), enter any of the
following commands in privileged EXEC mode to verify the PE to CE routing sessions:
Note
The
show ip rip database vrf
and
show ip ospf
commands are useful for verifying the routing table
from the CE router side of the connection and for determining if neighbors are missing from the routing
table.
Verifying the MPLS VPN Labels
An MPLS VPN uses a transport label to identify the VRF and another label to identify the backbone. To
verify the MPLS VPN labels, enter any of the following commands in privileged EXEC mode:
Note
The
traceroute vrf
command works with an MPLS-aware traceroute, and only if the backbone
ATM switch routers are configured to propagate and generate IP Time to Live (TTL) information.
Example 3-26 traceroute vrf Command
Router#
traceroute vrf vrf-1 192.168.1.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to 192.168.1.1
1 10.0.1.17 4 msec 0 msec 4 msec
2 10.0.1.101 0 msec 0 msec 0 msec
3 10.0.1.102 4 msec * 0 msec
Testing the VRF
To test the VRF to ensure that it is working properly, enter any of the following commands in privileged
EXEC mode:
Command
Purpose
Router#
show ip rip database vrf
vrf-name
Displays summary address entries in the Routing Information
Protocol (RIP) routing database for the specified VRF.
Router#
show ip ospf
[
process-id [area-id
]]
database
Displays lists of information related to the OSPF database for a
specific router.
Command
Purpose
Router#
traceroute vrf
vrf-name
ip-address
Displays the transport addresses for the specified VRF. Ensure that
the interfaces displayed are the correct cross-connect addresses.
Router#
show ip bgp vpnv4 all tags
Displays the labels for a particular VRF.
