Verifying Path Protection in an MPLS Network
To verify that path protection is working correctly on EX Series switches, perform the following tasks:
Verifying the Primary Path
Purpose
Verify that the primary path is operational.

Meaning
As indicated by the ActivePath in the output, the LSP primary_path_lsp_to_240 is active.
Verifying the RSVP-Enabled Interfaces
Purpose
Verify the status of Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)-enabled interfaces and packet statistics.
Action
user@switch> show rsvp interfaces
RSVP interface: 1 active
Active Subscr- Static Available Reserved Highwater
Interface State resv iption BW BW BW mark
ge-0/0/20.0 Up 2 100% 1000Mbps 1000Mbps 0bps 0bps
Meaning
This output verifies that RSVP is enabled and operational on interface ge-0/0/20.0.
Verifying a Secondary Path
Purpose
Verify that a secondary path is established.
Action
Deactivate a switch that is critical to the primary path and then issue the following command:
user@switch> show mpls lsp extensive
Ingress LSP: 1 sessions
127.0.0.8
