    Verify the LSP

    Purpose

    After configuring the LSP, you must verify that the LSP is up. LSPs can be ingress, transit, or egress. Use the show mpls lsp command for quick verification of the LSP state, with the extensive option (show mpls lsp extensive) as a follow-up if the LSP is down. If your network has numerous LSPs, you might consider specifying the name of the LSP, using the name option (show mpls lsp name name or show mpls lsp name name extensive).

    Action

    To verify that the LSP is up, enter the following command from the ingress router:

    user@host> show mpls lsp extensive

    Sample Output 1

    user@R1> show mpls lsp extensive
    Ingress LSP: 1 sessions

    Meaning

    The sample output from ingress router R1 shows that an MPLS label allocation failure occurred and the Constrained Shortest Path First (CSPF) algorithm failed, resulting in no route to destination 10.0.0.6 on R6.
