Hello,
we have a PE router ( I will call it PE_X) in our MPLS VPN backbone whose Loopback0 IP cannot be reached using the the "ping mpls ipv4" command. An attempt to do so generates the following output:
R1# ping mpls ipv4 X.X.X.X/32
Sending 5, 100-byte MPLS Echos to X.X.X.X/32,
timeout is 2 seconds, send interval is 0 msec:
Codes: '!' - success, 'Q' - request not sent, '.' - timeout,
'L' - labeled output interface, 'B' - unlabeled output interface,
'D' - DS Map mismatch, 'F' - no FEC mapping, 'f' - FEC mismatch,
'M' - malformed request, 'm' - unsupported tlvs, 'N' - no label entry,
'P' - no rx intf label prot, 'p' - premature termination of LSP,
'R' - transit router, 'I' - unknown upstream index,
'X' - unknown return code, 'x' - return code 0
Type Ctrl-C to abort.
FFFFF
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
Total Time Elapsed 13 ms
but the LFIB of the router from which we make the ping has been populated.

a traceroute renders the following output:

0 Z.Z.Z.Z MRU 1580 [Labels: 117 Exp: 0]
L 1 O.O.O.O MRU 1584 [Labels: implicit-null Exp: 0] 190 ms
F 2 Y.Y.Y.Y 2 ms
the Y.Y.Y.Y IP is on the PE_X router. the PE_X router is a nexus 7K.
and here is the LDP binding
PE_X# show mpls ldp bindings X.X.X.X/32
lib entry: X.X.X.X/32, rev 140
local binding: label: imp-null
remote binding: lsr: P.P.P.P:0, label: 117
remote binding: lsr: V.V.V.V:0, label: 95
Does anybody have any idea why?
cheers,
David
