Anyone of you having difficulty in troubleshooting MPLS as a beginner? I did some research and take notes for myself and now it is for you to do reference as well. MPLS troubleshooting can be divided into two main steps: 1) Verify routing information flow 2) Verify proper data flow - Routing information flow troubleshooting requires verification of end-to-end routing information propagation between CE routers. - Verification of the routing information flow should be done systematically, starting at the routing ingress CE and moving to the egress CE. - Verification of the data flow should be done systematically, starting at the data flow ingress CE and moving to the egress CE. There are three things to perform basic MPLS troubleshooting. They are, 1) Preliminary steps in MPLS VPN Troubleshooting: - Is CEF enabled? - Are labels for IGP routes generated and propagated? - Are large labeled packets propagated across the MPLS backbone (maximum transmission unit issues)? 2) Verify the routi...
Be knowledgeable, pass it on then.
