Monitoring Layer 2 Services over MPLS
This chapter describes the commands you can use to monitor and troubleshoot layer
2 services over MPLS on E Series routers.
NOTE: The E120 and E320 Broadband Services Routers output for monitor and show
commands is identical to output from other E Series routers, except that the E120
and E320 router output also includes information about the adapter identifier in the
interface specifier (slot/adapter/port).

Setting Baselines for Layer 2 Services over MPLS Statistics
You can set a baseline for the statistics for all MPLS major interface statistics on the
specified interface with the baseline mpls interface command. The router implements
the baseline by reading and storing the statistics at the time the baseline is set and
then subtracting this baseline when you retrieve baseline-relative statistics.
Use the delta keyword with the show mpls commands to display baselined statistics.
The following statistics are maintained for each MPLS shim interface:
â–
transmit packets and
octets
â–
receive packets and
octets
â–
transmit discarded
packets
â–
receive discarded packets
â–
transmit error packets
â–
receive error packets
