MPLS TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS FOR CISCO AND JUNIPER

Basic MPLS Troubleshooting Tips

1. Verifying MPLS Configuration:

  • Cisco:
    • Use show mpls interfaces to verify that MPLS is enabled on the correct interfaces.
    • Check show mpls ldp neighbor to ensure that Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) neighbors are discovered, and that the session is up.
  • Juniper:
    • Use show mpls interface to check MPLS status on interfaces.
    • Utilize show mpls ldp session to confirm LDP neighbor sessions.

2. Checking Label Switch Paths (LSP):

  • Cisco:
    • Use show mpls ldp bindings to display local and remote label bindings.
    • show mpls forwarding-table helps to inspect the labels being forwarded and their corresponding next-hops.
  • Juniper:
    • Use show mpls lsp extensive to get detailed information about the LSPs.
    • show route table mpls.0 to view the label-switched routes.

3. Ensuring Proper Route Distribution:

  • Cisco:
    • Verify routing protocols are correctly redistributing routes with show ip route and show ip protocols.
    • Ensure that MPLS labels are being properly assigned by checking show mpls forwarding-table.
  • Juniper:
    • Check routing information with show route forwarding-table family mpls.
    • Ensure correct route redistribution settings with show route protocol.

4. Troubleshooting MPLS VPNs:

  • Cisco:
    • For issues with VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding), use show ip vrf and show ip route vrf [vrf-name].
    • Verify MPLS VPN label distribution and path information using show mpls forwarding-table vrf [vrf-name].
  • Juniper:
    • Check VRFs using show route table [vrf-name].inet.0.
    • Look at the VPN labels with show route table [vrf-name].inet.0 detail.

5. Utilizing Cisco debug and Juniper traceoptions:

  • Cisco:
    • In-depth troubleshooting can be performed by enabling debugging: debug mpls ldp for LDP-related issues or debug mpls traffic-eng for traffic engineering problems.
  • Juniper:
    • Use traceoptions under the MPLS or routing protocol configuration to capture more detailed logs for troubleshooting.

6. Common Pitfalls and Checks:

  • Both Cisco and Juniper:
    • Ensure there are no MTU mismatches across MPLS-enabled interfaces, as this can disrupt proper LSP formation.
    • Regularly check for software or firmware updates that address known bugs or add enhancements to MPLS features.

Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna

Microstrip is a type of electrical transmission line which can be fabricated using printed circuit board technology, and is used to convey microwave-frequency signals. It consists of a conducting strip separated from a ground plane by a dielectric layer known as the substrate. The most commonly employed microstrip antenna is a rectangular patch which looks like a truncated  microstrip  transmission line. It is approximately of one-half wavelength long. When air is used as the dielectric substrate, the length of the rectangular microstrip antenna is approximately one-half of a free-space  wavelength . As the antenna is loaded with a dielectric as its substrate, the length of the antenna decreases as the relative  dielectric constant  of the substrate increases. The resonant length of the antenna is slightly shorter because of the extended electric "fringing fields" which increase the electrical length of the antenna slightly. An early model of the microst...
