  • 1.  L3VPN pinging issue

    Posted 10-13-2011 07:24

    Hi all

     

    I have setup a small network to test run a topology/config and am having some issues with L3vpn.

     

    I am running ISIS as IGP over a string of 4 routers.

     

    each end node ( PE ) has a BGP session with remote node for family inet-vpn unicast.

     

    the PE-CE interface has a laptop attached.

     

    Then I created a pair of LSPs between the PE nodes using RSVP.

     

    then I made a routing instance to include the Laptop interface.

     

    I am seeing the following:

     

    1.  The BGP sessions are up.

    2.  The LSPs are up

    3.  The remote PE loopback is listed in table inet.3 and points to the LSP.

    4.  I perform a traceroute to the remote PE loopback and see MPLS output in the traceroute ouput.  So it looks like the packets are following the LSP.

    5.  I added a static route into the routing-instance on each PE so I would advertise the CE-PE route via BGP.

    6.  I see the routes in the remote PE bgp.l3vpn.0 table and also into the remote PE VRF table, these look correct and list the correct LSP, Label values etc.

     

    7.  I can run the >ping mpls l3vpn <VPN-Name>  prefix <x> detail and get responses.

    8.  When I try to run >ping <x> routing-instance <VPN-Name> source <local PE-CE Interface IP>

          I get 100% packet loss.

     

    any ideas on what troubleshooting steps.

     

    I since connected these boxes back to back and it still gives the same issues?

    hi,

     

    See http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos95/swconfig-vpns/id-11085532.html#id-11073317 (Pinging the Remote CE Router from the Local PE Router).  Please notice the Limitation on Pinging ... section.

     

    I'm not sure and can't test now if  vrf-table-label discussed in http://forums.juniper.net/t5/Routing/BGP-label-allocation-failure-Need-a-nexthop-address-on-LAN/m-p/110112 will help.

    Yes I managed to get access to the CE devices at each end and it was working all along!!!

     

    the caveat of not being able to ping from PE to CE sucks

     

    thanks
