Monitoring MPLS Forwarding State for L2VPN (VPWS) Instances

Purpose

Display information about MPLS labels that are being used for forwarding. The brief keyword displays summary information for the MPLS labels.

Action

To display MPLS forwarding information for a particular label:

host1#show mpls forwarding label 17

In label: 17

  Label space: platform label space

  Owner: bgp

  Spoof check: router erx-pe

  Action: 

    MPLS next-hop: 28, l2transport to ATM2/0.100

  Statistics:

    0 in pkts

    0 in Octets

    0 in errors

    0 in discard pkts

To display brief information about MPLS forwarding for all labels:

host1:pe1#show mpls forwarding brief
