Task Command

Remarks

Restart MPLS LDP gracefully.

graceful-restart mpls ldp

Available in user view

NOTE:

The graceful-restart mpls ldp command is only used to test MPLS LDP GR function. It does not perform
active/standby switchover. Do not perform this operation in other cases.

Configuring MPLS statistics

To view LSP statistics, you must set the interval for reading LSP statistics at first.

Setting the interval for reading statistics

To set the interval for reading LSP statistics:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

N/A

2.

Enter MPLS view.

3.

Set the interval for reading
LSP statistics.

statistics interval interval-time

0 seconds by default, meaning that
the system does not read LSP

statistics.

Inspecting LSPs

In MPLS, the MPLS control plane is responsible for establishing LSPs. However, when an LSP fails to

forward data, the control plane cannot detect the LSP failure or cannot do so in time. This brings difficulty

to network maintenance. To find LSP failures in time and locate the failed node, the router provides the

following mechanisms:

MPLS LSP ping

MPLS LSP tracert

BFD for LSPs

Periodic LSP tracert

MPLS LSP ping

MPLS LSP ping is for checking the connectivity of an LSP. At the ingress, it adds the label for the FEC to

be inspected into an MPLS echo request, which then is forwarded along the LSP to the egress. The egress

processes the request packet and returns an MPLS echo reply to the ingress. An MPLS echo reply carrying
a success notification indicates that the lSP is normal, and an MPLS echo reply carrying an error code

indicates that the LSP has failed.
To check the connectivity of an LSP:
