Syntax Description

l2vpn Displays specified Layer 2 VPN information.
vpls_name Displays information for the specified VPLS.
vpws_name Displays information for the specified VPWS.
ipaddress Specifies a Layer 2 VPN peer for which to display information.
detail Displays additional information in comprehensive detail format.

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

The show l2vpn command (without any optional parameters) displays all currently configured Layer 2 VPN instances for the switch. The summarized list of Layer 2 VPN instances is displayed in alphabetical order based on the Layer 2 VPN name. Peers are displayed in the reverse of the order they were added.

When you specify a Layer 2 VPN peer, the display includes a list of all PWs established to the peer, the PW status and PW ID, and information about each Layer 2 VPN to which this peer belongs.

The following table describes the display fields that appear when this command is entered with the detail option.

Selected show l2vpn Field Definitions

Field Definition
VPLS Name VPLS instance or domain name.
VPN ID Virtual Private Network identifier.
Source Address Source IP address.
VCCV Status Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV) feature status, which is either Enabled or Disabled.
VCCV Interval Time Displays the configured VCCV interval time.
VCCV Fault Mulitplier Displays the configured VCCV fault multiplier.
Redundancy Type Displays the configured VPLS redundancy type, which is EAPS (Extreme Automatic Protection Switching), ESRP (Extreme Standby Router Protocol), STP (Spanning Tree Protocol), or None.
Service Interface Displays a VLAN (Virtual LAN) or VMAN interface name.
Admin State Displays the administrative state of the VPLS, which is either Enabled or Disabled.
Oper State Displays the operational state of the VPLS, which is either Enabled or Disabled.
MTU Displays the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for the VPLS.
Ethertype Displays the ethertype for the service interface.
.1q tag Displays the 802.1q priority tag for the VPLS.
Peer IP Displays the IP address for the VPLS peer.
PW State PW State represents the state, or status, of a PW. The possible PW state values are:
  • UP—The PW is fully operational and installed in hardware. Traffic is forwarded over PW and VPLS service VLAN/VMAN.
  • Down—The PW is not operational and is not installed in hardware. This only happens when the VPLS instance is disabled, VPLS service is disabled, or there is no service VLAN assigned to the VPLS. No traffic is forwarded.
  • Sgnl—The PW is in a signalling state. The PW is not operational, and no traffic is forwarded. This can occur for a number of reasons, including: No LDP adjacency to peer, No transport LSP to peer, No VC LSP to peer.
  • Remote peer not configuredReady—The PW has been signalled, but it has not been installed in hardware. Traffic is not forwarded. The PW can be in a Ready state for a number of reasons, including:
    • The VPLS instance is configured for EAPS redundancy, and the EAPS shared port associated with this VPLS instance is Connected.
    • The VPLS instance is configured for ESRP redundancy, and the ESRP domain associated with this VPLS instance is Slave.
    • The service VLAN associated with this VPLS instance is down.
    • The remote peer has signalled that it has a fault (remote PW status). The remote peer may have a fault due to it's service VLAN being down.
PW Uptime PW Uptime is the elapsed time that the PW has been in the UP state.
PW Installed PW Installed is a flag to indicate whether the PW is installed in hardware or not. If the PW is in the UP state, this field is True, otherwise, this field is False.
Local PW Status Local PW Status displays the VC status of the local PW. The values are:
  • No Faults—No faults detected.
  • PW-Tx—Local PSN-facing PW transmit fault. This is set if there is a problem with the VPLS transport LSP.
  • PW-Rx—Local PSN-facing PW receive fault. This is set if there is a problem with the VPLS transport LSP.
  • Att-Tx—Local attachment circuit transmit fault. This is set if there is a problem with the VPLS service VLAN.
  • Att-Rx—Local attachment circuit receive fault. This is set if there is a problem with the VPLS service VLAN.
  • Not Forwarding—The local PW is not forwarding. Look for more information in the PW State field. For example, if VPLS is configured for EAPS redundancy, the Local PW Status is Not Forwarding and the PW State is Ready whenever the EAPS Shared Port state is Connected.
Remote PW Status Remote PW Status is the VC status of the remote PW. The values for this field are the same values as for Local PW Status.
PW Mode PW Mode describes how the PW was configured. The values are:
  • Core-to-Core—This VPLS instance is a core node, and the other end of the PW connects to a core node.
  • Core-to-Spoke—This VPLS instance is a core node, and the other end of the PW connects to a spoke node. This is for HVPLS.
  • Spoke-to-Core—This VPLS instance is a spoke node, and the other end of the PW connects to a core node. This is for HVPLS.
Transport LSP Transport LSP is the LSP that is used to forward frames over the PW. When an LDP LSP is used as a transport, the display shows LDP LSP (Not configured). If an RSVP LSP is used, the name of the RSVP LSP being used as a transport LSP is displayed. An RSVP LSP can be specified as the LSP to use during VPLS configuration.
Next Hop I/F Displays the interface name for the next hop router.
Next Hop Addr Displays the interface IP address for the next hop router.
PW Rx Label Receive label for the VPLS PW.
PW Rx Pkts Total packets received on the VPLS PW.
PW Rx Bytes Total bytes received on the VPLS PW.
Tx Label Transmit label for the LSP.
PW Tx Label Transmit label for the VPLS PW.
PW Tx Pkts Total packets transmitted on the VPLS PW.
PW Tx Bytes Total bytes transmitted on the VPLS PW.

The l2vpn keyword is introduced in ExtremeXOS Release 12.4 and is required when displaying VPWS information. For backward compatibility, the l2vpn keyword is optional when displaying VPLS information. However, this keyword will be required in a future release, so Extreme Networks recommends that you use this keyword for new configurations and scripts.

The following example shows the display that appears when you enter the show l2vpn command without any options:

The following command shows the Layer 2 sharing information:

show l2vpn sharing  
L2VPN Sharing    : Enabled  

The non-detail version of this command now includes a peer flag that indicates the signaling protocol, if any, for a Pseudo Wire/peer. An “L” indicates LDP is used to signal the PW. A “T” indicates that no signaling is done, and therefore, this is a static PW.

The detail version of this command now displays a “PW Signaling” line that will display “LDP” or “None (Static)”, depending on the PW configuration. The “Local PW Status” will show “--” instead of “Not Signaled”, since the PW status is not currently signaled; however, for informational purposes, any local faults are still shown. The “Remote PW Status” and “Remote I/F MTU” will always show “--”.

Since the configured labels can be changed while the current labels are in-use, there is a small window where the configured labels and in-use labels are different. If you issue the show l2vpn detail command during this window, an extra line will be output to indicate this extra information. The configured labels are noted as “pending” in this case.
