Monitoring BGP-Related Settings for VPWS L2VPNs

This section provides examples of some of the show ip bgp commands that you can use to monitor VPWS configurations.

You can use the show ip bgp commands listed in Table 101 to display BGP-related settings for VPWS instances in the L2VPN address family. The l2vpn all keywords display both all VPWS instances and all VPLS instances in the L2VPN address family

Table 101: Commands for Monitoring BGP Settings for the VPWS Address Family

show ip bgp advertised-routes	show ip bgp neighbors received-routes
show ip bgp l2vpn all	show ip bgp neighbors routes
show ip bgp neighbors	show ip bgp peer-group
show ip bgp neighbors dampened-routes

You can use the show ip bgp commands listed in Table 102 to display BGP-related settings for L2VPNs. Specify l2vpn vpws vpwsName to display information about only the VPWS instances in the VPWS address family. Specify l2vpn all to display information about all VPWS instances in the VPWS address family and all VPLS instances in the VPLS address family.

For more information about using the show ip bgp commands that are not described in this section, see Configuring BGP Routing and Configuring BGP-MPLS Applications.

Purpose

Display layer 2 NLRI for all VPWS instances in the L2VPN address family, for a particular VPWS instance in the L2VPN address family, or for a particular VPWS instance in the VPWS address family.

The l2vpn vpws keywords display layer 2 NLRI for a particular VPWS instance in the VPWS address family.

The l2vpn all keywords display layer 2 NLRI for all VPWS instances in the L2VPN address family. The output for this version of the command also includes information about any VPLS instances configured in the L2VPN address family.

To display layer 2 NLRI for the route that matches a specified prefix (site ID and block offset) in the L2VPN address family or in the VPWS address family, use the site-id and block-offset keywords.

Action

To display information for a particular L2VPN instance in the L2VPN address family:

host1:pe1# show ip bgp l2vpn vpws l2vpn1
Local BGP identifier 10.1.1.1, local AS 100
  2 routes (152 bytes)
  2 destinations (152 bytes) of which 2 have a route
  2 routes selected for route tables installation
  0 unicast/multicast routes selected for route table installation
  0 unicast/multicast tunnel-usable routes selected for route table installation
  0 tunnel-only routes selected for tunnel-route table installation
  4 path attribute entries (608 bytes)
  Local-RIB version 6. FIB version 6.
Status codes: > best, * invalid, s suppressed, d dampened, r rejected,
              a auto-summarized m multihomed-backup
  Prefix      Peer            Next-hop         MED LocPrf Weight Origin
> 1:1         0.0.0.0         self                           0    IGP

To display summary information for a particular VPWS instance in the VPWS address family; only the BGP operational state is useful:
