Field Attributes
MPLS VLAN Information
• Client Interface – A VLAN configured to operate as an L2MPLS tunnel.
This VLAN is connected to the client interface on the edge switch of the
service provider’s network.
• VC State – The status of the Virtual Channel can be one of the
following:
• UP – The VC can carry traffic between the two endpoints.
• DOWN – The VC is not ready to carry traffic between the two
endpoints. When no input and output labels are configured, the VC
state is down
• ADMIN DOWN—The VC has been administratively disabled.
• Local VC Label – This label determines the egress interface of a packet
arriving from the MPLS backbone.
• Remote VC Label – This label is used by a remote peer switch.
MPLS Uplink Port Information
• Uplink Interface – The uplink port connected to the client interface.
• Tunnel Label – The MPLS tunnel label that is used by switches within
the MPLS core network to establish a path from the entry point to the
exit point.
• VC Label – The Virtual Channel identifier that is used to map traffic to
a specific customer port on the edge switches at the boundaries of the
MPLS network.
• Next Hop IP – The IP address of the next hop across the MPLS
network.
• DA MAC – The MAC address of the remote switch’s interface at the
other end of the VC. The default DA-MAC of MPLS uplink port is 00-00-
00-00-00-00.
