OAM trace highlights

General information

OAM trace results include several network components. In the case of multicast trace, the paths from the source to the leaves are listed in different windows—one window for each trace from the source to a leaf router.

Traceroute

The shortest path calculation is based the results of an ICMP trace returned from a 7450 ESS or 7750 SR ICMP trace operation. The calculation does not assess the routing policies and static route configured for the routers in the path. The traceries diagnostic helps to ensure that the same path is used for the planned and the actual paths.

LSP trace

You can highlight the results of an LSP trace diagnostic on the IGP topology map. An LSP trace applies to both LDP and RSVP LSP.

Multicast trace

You can highlight the results of a multicast trace (Mtrace) diagnostic on any topology map. The highlights help to identify the multicast tree for a source and group.
