Trigger a Layer 2 Tracetree

Use this procedure to trigger a Layer 2 tracetree. Layer 2 tracetree allows a user to trigger a multicast LTM message by specifying the B-VLAN and I-SID. The command allows the user to view a multicast tree on the SPBM B-VLAN from the source node to the destination nodes for a particular I-SID.

Before you begin

On the source and destination nodes, you must configure a CFM MD, MA, and MEP.
Enable the MEP.
Assign a nodal MEP to the B-VLAN.

Procedure

Trigger a Layer 2 tracetree:

l2 tracetree {<1-4059> <1–16777215> [routernodename WORD<0–255> | <1-4059> <1–16777215>] [mac <0x00:0x00:0x00:0x00:0x00:0x00>}] [priority <0–7>] [source-mode <nodal|smltVirtual>] [ttl—value <1–255>]

Example

Switch:1#l2 tracetree 500 1
Switch:1# l2 tracetree 500 1
