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.
