NSF and SSO—L2VPN
Checkpointing AToM Information
Checkpointing is a function that copies state information from the active RP to the backup RP, thereby
ensuring that the backup RP has the latest information. If the active RP fails, the backup RP can take
over.
For the L2VPN NSF feature, the checkpointing function copies the active RP's information bindings to
the backup RP. The active RP sends updates to the backup RP when information is modified.
To display checkpointing data, issue the show acircuit checkpoint command on the active and backup
RPs. The active and backup RPs have identical copies of the information.
Checkpointing Troubleshooting Tips
To help troubleshoot checkpointing errors, enter the following commands:
•
debug acircuit checkpoint command—To enable checkpointing debug messages for ACs.
•
debug mpls l2transport checkpoint command—To enable checkpointing debug messages for
AToM.
•
show acircuit checkpoint
command—To display the AC checkpoint information.
•
show mpls l2transport checkpoint command—To display if checkpointing is allowed, the quantity
of AToM VCs that were bulk-synced (on the active RP), and the quantity of AToM VCs that have
checkpoint data (on the standby RP).
•
show mpls l2transport vc detail command—To display details of VC checkpointed information.
