View the RSVP Log File on Transit Routers

 

Purpose

Transit router messages that appear in the RSVP log file can help you analyze the problem with an RSVP session. You may need to issue the clear rsvp session and clear log filename commands to ensure that your records are current. However, if your network is large with many RSVP sessions, this may not be advisable because it may take a while for all sessions to reestablish. However, the clear rsvp session command has various options you can include to minimize the effect on your network. For more information about the clear rsvp session command, see the Junos Routing Protocols and Policies Command Reference.

Action

To view the RSVP log file, enter the following Junos OS CLI operational mode commands:

Sample Output 1

Sample Output 2

Meaning

Sample Output 1 from transit router R3 shows that R3 ( so-0/0/2.0) correctly received a Path request message (recv Path) from R1, and correctly sent the Path message (send Path) through interface so-0/0/3.0 to R6. The route record object (RecRoute) indicates the list of addresses this Path message transited, in this case, 10 1.36.1 and 10.1.13.1.

Sample Output 2 from transit router R6 shows that R6 (so-0/0/3.0) correctly received a Path request message (recv Path) from R3, and correctly sent the Path message (send Path) through interface so-0/0/0 to R5. The route record object (RecRoute) indicates the list of addresses this Path message transited, in this case, 10.1.56.2, 10 1.36.1, and 10.1.13.1.

With the information above, the focus shifts to egress router R5 as the source of the problem, with indications that R5 ignored the RSVP message.
