Troubleshooting MPLS VPN
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used between the PE routers and is necessary for inter-site
connectivity. In the following example, we use internal BGP (iBGP). You can also use external BGP
(eBGP) as an external routing protocol for Provider Edge-to-Customer Equipment route propagation.
You can use the following commands to troubleshoot BGP:
Step 3 Check the destination for a BGP address by entering the show ip /jointfilesconvert/417913/bgp vpnv4 vrf command with the
VRF-name.
8540-PE2# show ip /jointfilesconvert/417913/bgp vpnv4 vrf Green
BGP table version is 17, local router ID is 222.2.1.2
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete
Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
Route Distinguisher: 200:1 (default for vrf Green)

*> 111.0.2.116/30 0.0.0.0 0 32768 ?

Step 4 Check the destination for a BGP address by using the show ip /jointfilesconvert/417913/bgp vpnv4 vrf command with the
VRF-name and IP-address.
8540-PE2# show ip /jointfilesconvert/417913/bgp vpnv4 vrf Green 111.0.2.116
BGP routing table entry for 200:1:111.0.2.116/30, version 7

Step 5 If the routing protocol used on the customer side does not use BGP, you can use traditional show
commands, and apply them to the correct VRF.
Command Purpose
show ip /jointfilesconvert/417913/bgp neighbors Shows detailed information on the BGP and TCP
connections to individual neighbors.
show ip /jointfilesconvert/417913/bgp vpnv4 all Shows the VPN address information from the BGP table.
show ip /jointfilesconvert/417913/bgp vpnv4 vrf
VRF-name
Shows network layer reachability information (NLRI)
associated with the named VRF.
show ip /jointfilesconvert/417913/bgp vpnv4 vrf VRF
name [ip-address]
Shows NLRI associated with the named VRF and a specific
connection.
