# Monitoring MPLS Next Hops

#### Purpose

Display MPLS next hops and any available next-hop statistics.

Next hops can be pointed to by MPLS forwarding entries on an LSR, IP or IPv6 routes on an LER, and VPLS bridge groups.

#### Action

To display MPLS next hops:

    host1:vr2#show mpls next-hop
    MPLS next-hop: index 1, lookup on inner header/label
       Statistics are not collected for MPLS switch-context next-hops

    MPLS next-hop: index 2, lookup in router pe1
       Statistics are not collected for MPLS switch-context next-hops

    MPLS next-hop: index 22, ECMP next-hop, leg count 2
       MPLS next-hop: index 20, label 36 on FastEthernet1/1.120, neighbor 10.120.120.1
       MPLS next-hop: index 21, label 36 on ATM2/1.20, neighbor 10.20.20.1
       Statistics are not collected for MPLS ECMP next-hops

    MPLS next-hop: index 24, label 17, resolved by MPLS nextHop index 10
       MPLS next-hop: index 10, resolved by MPLS nextHop index 14, peer address 10.1.1.1
          MPLS next-hop: index 14, ECMP next-hop, leg count 2
             MPLS next-hop: index 12, label 32 on FastEthernet1/1.120, neighbor 10.120.120.1
             MPLS next-hop: index 13, label 32 on ATM2/1.20, neighbor 10.20.20.1
       Sent:
         0 packets
         0 bytes
         0 errors
         0 discards

    MPLS next-hop: index 25, label 18, resolved by MPLS nextHop index 10
       MPLS next-hop: index 10, resolved by MPLS nextHop index 14, peer address 10.1.1.1
          MPLS next-hop: index 14, ECMP next-hop, leg count 2
             MPLS next-hop: index 12, label 32 on FastEthernet1/1.120, neighbor 10.120.120.1
             MPLS next-hop: index 13, label 32 on ATM2/1.20, neighbor 10.20.20.1
       Sent:
         0 packets
         0 bytes
         0 errors
         0 discards

When one MPLS next-hop points to another MPLS next hop, the second next hop is displayed indented to the first one.

#### Meaning

Table 78 lists the show mpls next-hop command output fields.
