Monitored LSP Form

The monitored LSP form provides details about selected LSP .

Use the LSP form for the following tasks:

  • Monitor the status of the LSPs.
  • View the service type associated with the LSPs.
  • View the node and the services to which an LSP is mapped.
Basic Attributes
Attributes Description
Status

Each row in the Monitored LSP Inventory represents a service being monitored. This column shows direct impact of status of an LSP on the selected service.

Management Mode Management mode of the selected LSP
Service Type

  • VRF
  • Pseudowire VC

LSP Name Name of the selected LSP.

LSP Re-route Scenarios

To understand the cases in which an LSP re-route incident will be generated, see the following examples:

 

  • LSP Re-routed at the PE

    In the example, the fault occurred at Provider Edge router (PE1) and the LSP got re-routed to alternate Provider routers ( PP1-PP2-PP3). In this case, a Re-route incident is generated for the LSP originating from PE1.

  • LSP Re-routed at a Provider router (P router)

    In the example, the fault occurred at Provider router (P1) and the LSP got re-routed to alternate Provider routers ( PP1-PP2-PP3). In this case, a Re-route incident is generated for the LSP originating from P1.

  • LSP Re-routed at PE and again at a P router

    The re-route incident is generated only the first time, in this case the LSP is first Re-routed at PE1 and then again at P4. The re-route incident is generated at PE1.
