What is the multi-layer map?

Multi-layer map

The multi-layer map is a display option on the Service Troubleshooting map. It allows you to view services through a series of separate network layers.

Note: The MPLS, IGP, and Physical layers are sourced through either CPAM/CPAA or VSR/NRC (NRC-P), which must be configured in NSP in order for the map to display services on managed NEs.

Troubleshooting workflow

Use the following Multi-layer Map features to troubleshoot map objects:

Tunnel support

The table below lists the different supported tunnel types in which an LSP path can be determined based on the IGP topology source (CPAM or VSR-NRC) to populate the IGP layer in the multi-layer map.

Support notes

SDP

GRE

CPAM/CPAA runs SPF protocol to get actual path of LSP recorded in NFM-P. Both endpoints need to be in the same admin domain.

VSR-NRC runs NRC-P path calculation. Endpoints do not need to be in the same admin domain.

MPLS – LDP

CPAM/CPAA runs SPF protocol to get actual path of LSP recorded in NFM-P. Both endpoints need to be in the same admin domain.

VSR-NRC runs NRC-P path calculation. Endpoints do not need to be in the same admin domain.

MPLS – LSP

CPAM/CPAA runs SPF protocol to get actual path of LSP recorded in NFM-P. Both endpoints need to be in the same admin domain.

VSR-NRC returns PCEP related path discovered by NRC-P. If no PCEP related path is available, NRC-P runs path calculation to determine path. Endpoints do not need to be in the same admin domain.

MPLS – SR-TE-LSP

VSR-NRC returns PCEP related path discovered by NRC-P. If no PCEP related path is available, NRC-P runs path calculation to determine path. Endpoints do not need to be in the same admin domain.

MPLS – SR-ISIS

VSR-NRC runs NRC-P path calculation. Endpoints do not need to be in the same admin domain.

MPLS – SR-OSPF

VSR-NRC runs NRC-P path calculation. Endpoints do not need to be in the same admin domain.

RSVP/TE (PCE)

CPAM/CPAA runs SPF protocol to get actual path of LSP recorded in NFM-P. Both endpoints need to be in the same admin domain.

VSR-NRC returns PCEP related path discovered by NRC-P. If no PCEP related path is available, NRC-P runs path calculation to determine path. Endpoints do not need to be in the same admin domain.
