monitoring MPLS in PE

[pgamage]

We need to monitor MPLS VPN customers in or PE.

There are many devices between PE and CE. so if CE router or link in between go down, our PE will not ditect it.

Can we monitor these VPNs?

Thanks..

Hi,

You can try IP sla vrf aware. Here is a document related to SW versions and configuration:

For example if you want to monitor CE from Served with below estimated topolgy you may use below config to monitor CE.

Server---------PE1---------Cloud----------PE2--------CE (To be managed)

On PE2

ip vrf TEST
rd 100:5216
export map MGMT
route-target export 100:5199
route-target import 100:5198
route-target import 100:87  >>>For management

route-map MGMT permit 10
match ip address MGMT-IP
set extcommunity rt  100:88 additive

ip access-list extended MGMT-IP
permit ip host 172.34.9.50 any  >>> Loopback configured at CE
permit ip 172.34.22.128 0.0.0.3 any >>>Wan between CE and PE2

on PE1

ip vrf MGMT-VRF
rd 100:5217
route-target export 100:87
route-target import 100:88 

int Gi1/1
desc #Link to Management Server#
ip vrf forwarding MGMT-VRF
ip address x.x.x.x y.y.y.252

We are in regional NOC and not able to get management VRF, atleast for now.

Is it possible to monitor PPP in the last mile?
