LSP ping is accomplished through a command line interface (CLI), in which MPLS Manager uses Telnet, SSH1, or SSH2 to log in to the source device, then invokes the ping command from that device, and then parses the output of the command. LSP ping is built on the CLI tool framework, which is described in the VMware Smart Assurance MPLS Manager Configuration Guide. Using LSP ping to test LSP connectivity in the managed MPLS environment shows the LSP ping path for LSP connectivity testing.
