Routing Data and Test Results

SUMMARY This topic provides information about the results of the tests that Paragon Automation executes to determine that the states of all BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, RSVP, LSP, and LDP neighbors are healthy.

Overview

The Routing and MPLS accordion displays the routing data and results of the tests that Paragon Automation executes to:

  • Determine that the states of all BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, RSVP, LSP, and LDP neighbors are healthy and without extensive flaps.

  • Validate that the expected number of entries are available in the routing and forwarding tables.

You can also view alerts, if any, on the Routing and MPLS accordion.

To access the Routing and MPLS accordion, navigate to the Observability > Health > Troubleshoot Devices page. Click a device name to access the Device-Name page. Click the Routing and MPLS (accordion) in the Overview tab.

The top-right corner of the accordion displays the overall health of the accordion. The various states are:

  • Healthy—The BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, RSVP, LSP, and LDP neighbors are healthy. The entries in the routing and forwarding tables are accurate.

  • Being Monitored—The health of the routing neighbors and entries in the routing and forwarding tables is being monitored.

  • Action Needed—The routing neighbors and entries in the routing and forwarding tables have issues that you must address.

  • Urgent Action Needed—The routing neighbors and entries in the routing and forwarding tables have issues that you must address immediately.

Table 1 lists the results of the routing tests.

OSPF

Total number of OSPF neighbors identified, and the number of unhealthy OSPF neighbors.

RSVP

Total number of RSVP neighbors identified, and the number of unhealthy RSVP neighbors.

LDP

Relevant Events

Displays two issues or anomalies with respect to the routing events in order of severity.

Hover over View Details to view more information about an issue in a pop-up.

Click View All Relevant Events to view all routing events or anomalies, present on the device, on the Events for Device-Name page. You can view relevant events for the past seven days.
