Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`

MVPN Form

The MVPN inventory view provides a list of layer 3 Virtual Private Network (VPNs) with multicast services on the network. The MVPN form provides details about the selected Multicast VPN (MVPN). This topic ioncludes the following sections:

MVRFs Tab
MDTs Tab
StatusTab
Conclusions Tab
Custom Attributes
Registration Tab

Before you perform any tasks, ensure that:

Multicast nodes on the network are discovered.
All the flows are active.
Group discovery is successful.

Use the MVPN form for the following tasks:

Monitor the MVRFs participating in the selected MVPN.
Check the MVRFs tab to view the status of the MVRFs participating in the selected L3 VPN.
Navigate to the VRF form to check more details about the selected MVRF.
Check the MVPN tab to view the status of the available MVRFs participating in the selected MVPN.
Check the Incidents tab to view the cause of the change in the status.
Access an L3 VPN topology map view of the network.

Basic Attributes
Attribute	Description
Name, Status, Default MDT, L3 VPN Name, Number of MVRFs	The attributes listed in the MVPN form are same as available in the MVPN Inventory view. Click (the Lookup icon) to access the node. For more information about MVPN attributes, see MVPN Inventory.
Create Time	The time when the selected MVPN was formed and created.
Status Last Modified	Shows date and time on which the status was last set.

Analysis Pane

Information shown for MVPN form is same as that in MVPN Inventory. For more information, see MVPN Inventory.

MVRFs Tab

The MVPN form provides details about all the MVRFs participating in the selected MVPN. The Multicast VRF (MVRF) tab provides details of the MVRFs participating in the MVPN. Each row represents one MVRF. If there are five MVRFs participating in the MVPN, there are five rows available in the form. To navigate to the MVRF form, click (the Open icon).

MVRF Attributes
Attribute	Description
Status	Overall status of an MVRF. The status of the MVRF is derived from the status of the VRF which is polled at the regular intervals. In addition, the MVRF status is also calculated based on the status of Multicast Tunnel interface (MTI) and the status of the PIM neighbors. Possible values are: Normal - The status of the VRF is Normal and MTI is Up, status of the MVRF is Normal. Unknown - The status of the VRF is Unknown and MTI is Up, status of the MVRF is Unknown. Critical - The status of the VRF is Unknown or MTI is Down, or both, status of the MVRF is Critical.
Name	The name of the selected MVRF.
PE Node	The router name in the database. The name can be hostname or IP address. The PE node is the Provider Edge router on the edge of the service provider's network that communicates with other provider nodes and the customer nodes.
Multicast Tunnel IF	The name of the Multicast tunnel interface.
Data MDT Range	The range of the group addresses for a specific MVPN group.
Data MDT Threshold	The maximum bandwidth value configured on the selected MVRF for the MVPN traffic using the Data MDT.

Analysis Pane

The Analysis Pane for MVRFs Tab is same as that in the VRF form. See Analysis Pane

MDTs Tab

The MVPN form provides details about the Multicast Distribution Tree (MDT) flows passing through the selected MVPN. Navigate to the iSPI for IP Multicast from MDT tab.

MDTs Attributes
Attribute	Description
Customer Source	The IP address of the source which receives the multicast flows.
Customer Group	The group IP address used to encapsulate the multicast flows of the customer.
Provider Source	The IP address of the source PE node.
Provider Group	The group IP address of the PE node.
Type	The Type of MDT flow such as Default MDT flow and Data MDT flow.
MVRF Name	The name of the selected MVRF. This MVRF is the source to start all the multicast flows.

Analysis Pane

Analysis Pane is not implemented.

StatusTab

The MVPN form provides details about the selected MVRF. You can use the Status tab to view the status summary of the selected MVPN.

Overall Status Table
Attribute	Description
Status	The status of the selected MVPN. The status of the MVPN is derived and calculated based on the status of all the MVRFs participating to form an MVPN. Possible values are: Normal - The status of the MVPN is Normal if the status of all the MVRFs participating in the MVPN is Normal. Unknown - The status of the MVPN is Unknown if the status of all the MVRFs participating in the MVPN is Unknown. Warning - The status of the MVPN is Warning if the status of one or more MVRFs participating in the MVPN are Unknown but none of them is Critical. Minor - The status of the MVPN is Minor if one or more MVRFs participating in the MVPN is Critical. Critical - The status of the MVPN is Critical if the status of all the MVRFs participating in the MVPN is Critical.
Last Modified	Date and time on which status was last set.

Status History
Attribute	Description
Status History	List of last thirty status updates for the selected MVPN.
Time Stamp	Time at which the selected MVPN was last modified.

Analysis Pane

Analysis Pane is not implemented for the Status tab.

Conclusions Tab

The MVPN form provides details about all the MVRFs participating in the MVPN. The Conclusions tab shows the results of the overall derived status. You can view a quick summary of the status and problem description for the selected MVPN.

Conclusions Table
Attribute	Description
Status	The derived status of the selected MVPN. For more information, see MVPN Form: Status tab.
Time Stamp	Current status is calculated and set by the Causal Engine. The Time Stamp data is the time when the status of the MVPN is calculated and last updated in the view.
Conclusions	The conclusion is set by the Causal Engine after the status calculation. Possible conclusions are: MVPNNormal MVPNCritical MVPNUnknown MVPNMinor MVPNWarning

Analysis Pane
