This chapter describes the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)/Virtual Private Network (VPN) Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Login Event Generator (LEG) command-line utility (CLU).
The p3bgp utility controls the operation of the BGP LEG and displays its status. The command format is p3bgp <operation>[parameter].
Table 30-1 lists the p3bgp operations.
The following is an example of the p3bgp command-line utility using the status operation:
ID |
Peer IP |
PE Name |
Updates recv |
Notify recv |
K.Alive sent |
K.Alive recv |
Hold Time |
1 |
1.2.3.4 |
PE101 |
150 |
0 |
58 |
57 |
157 |
2 |
1.2.3.5 |
PE102 |
183 |
0 |
34 |
33 |
77 |
The following list is a description of the status operation output:
•Peer IP—The IP of the PE/RR that is connected to the LEG.
•PE name—The name of the PE/RR as configured in the configuration file.
•Updates recv—A counter for all the BGP updates received from this PE/RR.
•Notify recv—A counter for all the BGP notifications received from this PE/RR.
•K.Alive sent—A counter for all the BGP keep alives sent to this PE/RR.
•K.Alive recv—A counter for all the BGP keep alives received from this PE/RR.
•Hold Time—The remaining time-out for the next keep alive.
The following is an example of the p3bgp command line utility using the show operation on a specific PE router named PE101:
1 : PE101 connects : 1 recv UPDATE : 150 recv KEEPALIVE : 57 sent KEEPALIVE : 58 recv NOTIFY : 0 current holdtime : 157 TCP sndwnd : 16384 TCP rcvwnd : 87380 Connection up time : 0 Days, 1 Hrs, 7 Min, 59 Sec refresh requests : 2 recv PE AddRoute messages : 2 send SM AddRoute messages : 10 send SM not connected : 0 BGP state : Established
The following list is a description of the show operation output:
•connects—The number of successful connections established with this PE/RR since the LEG is up.
•recv UPDATE—A counter for all the BGP updates received from this PE/RR.
•recv KEEPALIVE—A counter for all the BGP keep alives received from this PE/RR.
•sent KEEPALIVE—A counter for all the BGP keep alives sent to this PE/RR.
•recv NOTIFY—A counter for all the BGP notifications received from this PE/RR.
•current holdtime—The remaining time-out for the next keep alive.
•TCP sndwnd—The TCP send window buffer size.
•TCP rcvwnd—The TCP receive window size.
•Connection up time—The time since the connection to this PE/RR was established.
•refresh requests—A counter for the number of refresh requests requested for this PE/RR.
•recv PE AddRoute messages—A counter for BGP add-route messages received from the PE/RR.
•send SM AddRoute message—A counter for successful add routes invocations performed on the SM for this PE/RR.
•send SM not connected—A counter for SM invocations that were kept in an internal buffer due to disconnected SM.
•BGP state—The state of the BGP connection to this PE/RR.
