show mpls lsp

Syntax

Syntax (EX Series Switches Only)

Description

Display information about configured and active dynamic Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label-switched paths (LSPs).

Note:

ACX Series routers do not support the show mpls lsp statistics command.

Options

none

Display standard information about all configured and active dynamic MPLS LSPs.

brief | detail | extensive | terse

(Optional) Display the specified level of output. The extensive option displays the same information as the detail option, but covers the most recent 50 events.

In the extensive command output, the duplicate back-to-back messages are recorded as aggregated messages. An additional timestamp is included for these aggregated messages, where if the aggregated messages are five or less, timestamp deltas are recorded for each message, and if the aggregated messages are greater than five, the first and last timestamp is recorded.

For example:

  • All timestamps

  • Timestamp deltas

  • First and last timestamp

abstract-computation

(Optional) Display abstract computation preprocessing for LSPs.

See show mpls lsp abstract-computation for more details.

autobandwidth

(Optional) Display automatic bandwidth information. This option is explained separately (see show mpls lsp autobandwidth ).

bidirectional | unidirectional

(Optional) Display bidirectional or unidirectional LSP information, respectively.

bypass

(Optional) Display LSPs used for protecting other LSPs.

count-active-routes

(Optional) Display active routes for LSPs.

defaults

(Optional) Display the MPLS LSP default settings.

descriptions

(Optional) Display the MPLS label-switched path (LSP) descriptions. To view this information, you must configure the description statement at the [edit protocol mpls lsp] hierarchy level. Only LSPs with a description are displayed. This command is only valid for the ingress routing device, because the description is not propagated in RSVP messages.

down | up

(Optional) Display only LSPs that are inactive or active, respectively.

externally-controlled

(Optional) Display the LSPs that are under the control of an external Path Computation Element (PCE).

externally-provisioned

(Optional) Display the LSPs that are generated dynamically and provisioned by an external Path Computation Element (PCE).

instance instance-name

(Optional) Display MPLS LSP information for the specified instance. If instance-name is omitted, MPLS LSP information is displayed for the master instance.

locally-provisioned

(Optional) Display LSPs that have been provisioned locally by the Path Computation Client (PCC).

logical-system (all | logical-system-name)

(Optional) Perform this operation on all logical systems or on a particular logical system.

lsp-type

(Optional) Display information about a particular LSP type:

  • bypass—Sessions for bypass LSPs.

  • egress—Sessions that terminate on this routing device.

  • ingress—Sessions that originate from this routing device.

  • pop-and-forward—Sessions that originate from RSVP-TE pop-and-forward LSP tunnels.

  • transit—Sessions that pass through this routing device.

name name

(Optional) Display information about the specified LSP or group of LSPs.

p2mp

(Optional) Display information about point-to-multipoint LSPs.

reverse-statistics

(Optional) Display packet statistics for reverse direction of LSPs.

segment

(Optional) Display segment identifier (SID) labels.

statistics

(Optional) (Ingress and transit routers only) Display accounting information about LSPs. Statistics are generally not available for LSPs on the egress routing device, because in most cases either penultimate hop popping or explicit null labels are used. These labels, 3 and 0, respectively, fall into the reserved range of 0-15, for which egress statistics are not available. For example, with explicit null operation (label 0), as the packet arrives at the egress routing device, the hardware removes the MPLS label and the packet reverts to being an IPv4 packet. Therefore, it is counted as an IPv4 packet, not an MPLS packet.

Note:

When a label from the 0-15 reserved range is used at the egress LSR, you expect to see egress LSP statistics as not applicable (NA):

Note:

If a bypass LSP is configured for the primary static LSP, display cumulative statistics of packets traversing through the protected LSP and bypass LSP when traffic is re-optimized when the protected LSP link is restored. (Bypass LSPs are not supported on QFX Series switches.)

When used with the bypass option (show mpls lsp bypass statistics), display statistics for the traffic that flows only through the bypass LSP.

transit

(Optional) Display LSPs transiting this routing device.

LSP Control Status

(Ingress LSP) LSP control mode:

  • External—By default, all PCE-controlled LSPs are under external control. When an LSP is under external control, the PCC uses the PCE-provided parameters to set up the LSP.

  • Local—A PCE-controlled LSP can come under local control. When the LSP switches from external control to local control, path computation is done using the CLI-configured parameters and constraint-based routing. Such a switchover happens only when there is a trigger to re-signal the LSP. Until then, the PCC uses the PCE-provided parameters to signal the PCE-controlled LSP, although the LSP remains under local control.

A PCE-controlled LSP switches to local control from its default external control mode in cases such as no connectivity to a PCE or when a PCE returns delegation of LSPs back to the PCC.

If Received RRO is different from Computed ERO, there is a topology change in the network, and the route is taking a detour.) The following flags identify the protection capability and status of the downstream node:

  • 0x01—Local protection available. The link downstream from this node is protected by a local repair mechanism. This flag can be set only if the Local protection flag was set in the SESSION_ATTRIBUTE object of the corresponding Path message.

  • 0x02—Local protection in use. A local repair mechanism is in use to maintain this tunnel (usually because of an outage of the link it was routed over previously).

  • 0x03—Combination of 0x01 and 0x02.

  • 0x04—Bandwidth protection. The downstream routing device has a backup path providing the same bandwidth guarantee as the protected LSP for the protected section.

  • 0x08—Node protection. The downstream routing device has a backup path providing protection against link and node failure on the corresponding path section. If the downstream routing device can set up only a link-protection backup path, the Local protection available bit is set but the Node protection bit is cleared.

  • 0x09—Detour is established. Combination of 0x01 and 0x08.

  • 0x10—Preemption pending. The preempting node sets this flag if a pending preemption is in progress for the traffic engine LSP. This flag indicates to the ingress legacy edge router (LER) of this LSP that it should be rerouted.

  • 0x20—Node ID. Indicates that the address specified in the RRO’s IPv4 or IPv6 sub-object is a node ID address, which refers to the router address or router ID. Nodes must use the same address consistently.

  • 0xb—Detour is in use. Combination of 0x01, 0x02, and 0x08.

You can see the new tag when you issue the show mpls lsp extensive command with the | display xml pipe option. If you have any scripts that use the bandwidth tag, ensure that they are updated to maximum-average-bandwidth.
