ping mpls ldp
The LDP LSP ping command, sends an MPLS echo request from the ingress to the egress LSR.
A new option, nexthop
ipv4-address has been added to the existing ping command.
Syntax ping mpls ldp ip-address | ip-address/mask-length[count 1-4294967294 [destination ip-addr]
[detail][reply-mode no-reply|router-alert] [reply-tos 0-254][size bytes] [source ip addr] [timeout
50-300000 msec][nexthop ipv4 addr]
Command
default
None.
Parameters ping mpls ldp ip-address | ip-address/mask-length [nexthop ipv4 addr]
Specifies the optional value of next hop IPv4 address used to send the ping request.
Modes Global configuration.
Usage guidelines The parameter nexthop ipv4 addr is optional for the ping command.
This refers to the nexthop IPv4 address to send the OAM request to. When an address that does
not match the outgoing path for the tunnel is given, the following error message appears as
response:
Ping fails: LDP next-hop does not exist.
You can specify the optional value of next hop IPv4 address to be used to send the ping request. If
there is no matching interface for the specified IPv4 address, the ping request fails.
NOTE
Once an outgoing path is chosen to send the ping request, it is not changed. Disabling the path does
not cause the ping packet to be sent over other ECMP paths. On disabling the path, ping operation
stops since the path is down. This is the expected behavior.
