Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

MPLS OAM Commands

MPLS OAM Commands

This module describes Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label switched path (LSP) verification commands. These commands provide a means to detect and diagnose data plane failures and are the first set of commands in the MPLS Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) solution.

For detailed information about MPLS concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, see Cisco IOS XR MPLS Configuration Guide for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.

Note

The ping mpls command is not supported on optical LSPs. If an optical LSP is encountered along the LSP's path, it is treated as a physical interface.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

In cases in which the sweep keyword is used, values larger than the outgoing interface’s MTU are not transmitted.

The ping command sends an echo request packet to an address, and then awaits a reply. Ping output can help you evaluate path-to-host reliability, delays over the path, and whether the host can be reached or is functioning.


Note

The ping mpls command is not supported on optical LSPs. If an optical LSP is encountered along the LSP's path, it is treated as a physical interface.

AToM VCCV allows the sending of control packets inband of an AToM pseudowire (PW) from the originating provider edge (PE) router. The transmission is intercepted at the destination PE router, instead of being forwarded to the customer edge (CE) router. This lets you use MPLS LSP ping to test the pseudowire section of AToM virtual circuits (VCs).

The no interactive version of the ping pseudowire (AToM) command is supported.

The control word setting is either enabled along the entire path between the Terminating-Provider Edge (T-PE) or it is completely disabled. If the control word configuration is enabled on one segment and disabled on another segment, the multisegment pseudowire does not come up.
