View Layer 2 Tracetree Results

Note

Note

This procedure does not apply to XA1400 Series.

Use this procedure to view Layer 2 Tracetree results. The Layer 2 Tracetree command is a proprietary command that allows a user to trigger a multicast LTM message by specifying the B-VLAN and I-SID. This 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.

Note

Note

Troubleshooting using ping and traceroute (including Layer 2 ping and Layer 2 traceroute) is not supported on EDM. For more information, see VSP 8600 Release Notes. As an alternative, use CLI.
