MPLS Manager becomes aware of L3VPN impacted events by several means, including periodic remote ping failures.

L3VPN impact events notified by the MPLS Manager lists the impact events that are created by MPLS Manager for the L3VPN domain, including the condition for each event.

This MulticastVPN has been impaired by one of the following conditions:

  • Failure of one or more of the VRFs that belong to this VPN

  • Failure of a subLSP of an underlying P2MP LSP

MulticastGroup

Impacted

This MulticastGroup has been impaired by one of the following conditions:

  • Failure of the underlying MulticastVPN due to a failed VRF

  • Failure of a subLSP of the underlying P2MP LSP that carries the traffic for this MulticastGroup

By default, the MulticastGroup Impacted event is exported to the Global Manager and displayed in the Global Console. The MPLS Manager Configuration Guide provides the procedure for disabling the export of this event type to the Global Manager.
