Monitoring VPLS-Specific Settings
Purpose
Display configuration and status information for VPLS connections configured on the router.
Action
To display detailed information about all VPLS instances configured on the router:

Table 69 lists the show vpls connections command output fields.
Name of the VPLS instance for which information is displayed
Bridging capability currently enabled; for a VPLS instance, this field always displays default
Length of time, in seconds, that a MAC address entry can remain in the forwarding table before expiring
Whether acquisition of dynamically learned MAC addresses is enabled or disabled
Maximum number of dynamic MAC addresses that the VPLS instance can learn
Number of ports currently configured for the VPLS instance, including network interfaces and the VPLS virtual core interface
Number of network interfaces currently configured for the VPLS instance
Name of the transport virtual router configured for the VPLS instance
Maximum number of sites that can participate in the VPLS domain associated with the VPLS instance
Extended community identifiers, also known as route targets, for each VPLS instance configured on the router
Index number of the MPLS next hop to which the router floods packets with unknown destination addresses. For more information about displaying MPLS next hops and any available next-hop statistics, see the show mpls next-hop command description in Chapter 2, Configuring MPLS.
Type and specifier of the network interfaces and VPLS virtual core interface associated with the VPLS instance; vpls vplsName in this field identifies the VPLS virtual core interface
Port number of the module on which the network interface or VPLS virtual core interface resides
Operational status of the physical interface: Up, Down, LowerLayerDown, NotPresent
Possible status codes for the VPLS connection that appear in the State field
Status of the connection with the remote VPLS instance; possible values for this field appear in the Connections status code legend in the command display
IP address of the remote VPLS edge (VE) router, which is analogous to the remote provider edge (PE) router in a BGP/MPLS VPN configuration
MPLS next-hop index number that corresponds to the outgoing MPLS label
