CE-1 recieves CE-2 routes but can ping them

ccie16351 · ‎11-30-2007

I am building a lab to simulate enterprise WAN would connect over MPLS cloud.

The problem is CEs receives the routes of each other, but can't ping any.

I have attached the config. file for the basic routers in the lab setup; CE-1, PE-1, PE-2.

Appreciate your help.

Hi,

you have to make sure to have MPLS enabled end to end between the two PE routers. So what is missing:

r7-PE1

interface FastEthernet0/0

ip address 78.78.78.7 255.255.255.0

speed 100

full-duplex

mpls ip

mpls label protocol ldp

mpls mtu 1512

r8-PE2

interface FastEthernet0/0

ip address 78.78.78.8 255.255.255.0

speed 100

full-duplex

mpls ip

mpls label protocol ldp

mpls mtu 1512

Check your environment with "show mpls ldp discovery", "show mpls ldp neighbors", "show mpls forwarding-table". The latter should show you a "Pop" for the loopbacks of the other PE and some labels with a [V] for the VPN routes.

Hope this helps! Please rate all posts.

Hi Martin,

unfortunately, my current IOS image doesn't support "mpls ip/tag-switching'. Here it is

c3660-ik9s-mz.123-14.T7.bin.

Are you aware of an inmage can support it with 32F/128DRAM on 3660.

Appreciate your help.

Hi Martin,

I managed to upgrade the IOS of the PEs to support MPLS, but problem still persist; CEs receives the routes of each other but can ping them.

r6-CE1#sir bgp

44.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 44.44.44.44, timeout is 2 seconds:

Hi,

did you try an extended ping between CE Loopbacks? Might be that you use outgoing interface IP as source and do not announce the network. Did you debug ICMP on a CE (lab only) to verify packet (non-)arrival?

Could you also check on both PE routers:

show mpls ldp discovery

show mpls ldp neighbor

and make sure CEF is working properly.

Thanks Martin,

I got working after I had the CE routers advertises the interface to their peers, in the bgp.

As usual, apprecite your help.
