Viewing MPLS VPN Properties
•Name—The name of the VRF.
The Export/Import Route Targets areas displayed in the VRF Properties dialog box specify separately the export and import policies for each VRF.
The VRF Properties dialog box is divided into two tabs, namely, the Sites and VRF Table tabs. The sites tab displays the interfaces connected to the VRF and the configuration of the interfaces. The following columns are displayed in the Sites tab:
•Name—The name of the site; for example, ATM4/0.100(10.0.0.1) is a combination of the interface name and IP address used to reach the site.
•IP Address—The IP address of the interface.
•Mask—The details of the dotted decimal mask.
•State—The state of the subinterface, namely, Up or Down.
•Description—A description of the interface.
•Input Access List—The access list applied to the inbound traffic of the interface.
Note This parameter is relevant only for Cisco IOS devices.
•Output Access List—The access list applied to the outbound traffic of the interface.
Note This parameter is relevant only for Cisco IOS devices.
•Rate Limits—Measures traffic for the IP interfaces on Cisco devices, including the average rate, normal burst size, excess burst size, conform-action, and exceed action.
•IP Sec Map Name—The IP Security (IPSec) map name.
•Site Name—The name of the business element to which the interface is attached.
•Sending Alarms—This option is currently unavailable.
The VRF Table tab contains the VRF routing table for the device, which is a collection of routes that are available or reachable to all the destinations or networks in the VRF. In addition, the forwarding table contains MPLS encapsulation information.
The following columns are displayed in the VRF Table tab:
•Destination—The destination of the specific network.
•Mask—The mask of the specific network.
•Next Hop—The CE router address from which to continue to get to a specific address. This field is empty when the routing entry goes to the PE.
•BGP Next Hop—The PE address from where to continue to get to a specific address. This field is empty when the routing entry goes to the CE.
•VRF Out Label—The label sent with MPLS traffic.
•VRF In Label—The label that is expected when MPLS traffic is received.
•MPLS Label—The MPLS label.
•Type—The type can be direct (local) or indirect.
•Routing Protocol—The routing protocol used to communicate with other sites and VRFs, either BGP or local.
