# Monitoring Status and Configuration for MPLS Tunnels

#### Purpose

Display status and configuration for all tunnels or for a specific tunnel in the current router context.

#### Action

To display the status and configuration for all tunnels:

    host1#show mpls tunnels

    Tunnel 1 to   0.0.0.0
      State:  Enabled with Incomplete Config
      tunnel not announced to any IGP
      (Global) Retry forever
           at (Global) interval 5 during Lsp setup if there is route
      (Global) Retry forever
           at (Global) interval 5 during Lsp setup if there is no route
      metric is relative 0

    Tunnel 2 to   222.9.1.3
      State:  Up
      Out label 24 on ATM3/0.1 nbr 10.10.11.5
        14 pkts, 0 hcPkts, 2156 octets
        0 hcOctets, 0 errors, 0 discardPkts
      tunnel not announced to any IGP
      (Global) Retry forever
           at (Global) interval 5 during Lsp setup if there is route
      (Global) Retry forever
           at (Global) interval 5 during Lsp setup if there is no route
      metric is relative 0
    phb-id 2
    path option 2
        option is currently used - path is calculated  by isis
            10.10.11.5
            10.10.12.3
            222.9.1.3
        next reoptimization in 1687 seconds
      stacked labels:
    FastEthernet2/4.1     222.9.1.3          R0        Out 18 on  tun mpls:1

    Tunnel tail-de090106-1-18a for  222.9.1.2
      State:  Up
      In  label 20 on ATM3/0.1
        0 pkts, 0 hcPkts, 0 octets
    0 hcOctets, 0 errors, 0 discardPkts

In the output for Tunnel 2 shown here, the line phb-id 2 indicates that the tunnel is an L-LSP with PHB-ID 2. You can then display the output of the show mpls phb-id command to determine the corresponding PSC.

A result of Incomplete Configuration in the display indicates either no tunnel endpoint or no label distribution protocol.

To display a summary of all MPLS tunnels for the current router context:

    host1:pe2#show mpls tunnels brief
    name/id          destination  metric  state/label/intf
    vpnEgressLabel3  0.0.0.0      R0      Incoming 1048573 on stack
    vpnEgressLabel4  0.0.0.0      R0      Incoming 1048572 on stack
    pe2-to-pe1       1.1.1.1      R0      Outgoing 300 on atm2/0.60
                     2.2.2.2      R0      Incoming 3000 on atm2/0.70

#### Meaning

Table 59 lists the show mpls tunnels command output fields.

Table 59: show mpls tunnels Output Fields

Field Name | Field Description
--- | ---
Label | Label prepended to packets before being sent across tunnel
State | Status of tunnel: Establishing, Traffic Engineering Negotiation, Up, Down, Enabled with Incomplete Config, Disabled with Incomplete Config, Disabled, or Releasing
on | Location of tunnel
tunnel is announced to | Protocols to which the tunnel is announced
metric | Metric type, relative or absolute
phb-id | PHB ID supported by this tunnel; for E-LSPs an additional exp-bits entry is displayed after the phb-id entry
pkts | Number of packets sent across tunnel
hcPkts | Number of high-capacity (64-bit) packets sent across tunnel
octets | Number of octets sent across tunnel
hcOctets | Number of high-capacity (64-bit) octets sent across tunnel
errors | Number of packets that are dropped for some reason before being sent
discardPkts | Number of packets that are discarded due to lack of buffer space before being sent
name/id | Tunnel identifier
destination | Tunnel destination; router ID of egress router
metric | Value of tunnel metric and whether the metric is relative (R) or absolute (A)
state/label/intf | Functional state of tunnel, label for the tunnel, and interface where tunnel resides
