Usage Guidelines
This command configures a VPLS VC-LSP service connectivity health-check. The healthcheck command
can be used to configure recurring VC-LSP connectivity checks. If VC-LSP connectivity is lost, a trap is
sent to alert management stations of a possible service failure and an error message is logged.
Connectivity is verified by sending a VPLS ping packet. Up to 256 vplsping health-checks may be
configured.
Ping packets are sent at the rate specified by the
within
trap-send-holdtime
considered down and an error message is logged and a trap message may be sent. The valid
is 10 to 600 seconds with a default value of 60 seconds. The valid
interval-time range
range is 3 to 30 seconds with a default value of 10 seconds and must be less that
trap-send-holdtime
the . Ping packets may be dropped due to spurious network conditions. In order to
interval-time
minimize service disconnect "false alerts", when an echo request has not been received within
/3 seconds, echo requests are sent in rapid succession at a rate of one per second.
trap-send-holdtime
This operation continues until an echo response is received or the trap-send-holdtime expires. If an echo
response is received before the
immediately stopped and the service is deemed connected.
Specifying the VPLS node address configures the VPLS health-check to a VPLS node. The VPLS node
can be specified using the
IP address is used to look up the corresponding VPLS node's MAC address. If the MAC address has not
been learned, the
health-check
error. The mac-address keyword specifies the target VPLS node or a customer MAC address. The
macaddress parameter must be a unicast MAC address and is specified as a colon separated list of six
bytes in hex format.
