Pseudowire Logging

Load vpws.redundancy.complete.cfg

#IOS-XE (R1-R6, CE8)
config replace flash:vpws.redundancy.complete.cfg

The completed VPWS redundancy lab is pre-configured. R1 acts as a CE and is multi-homed to R2 (primary) and R4(secondary).

Enabling logging so that when R2’s interfaces go down, you see the following log message on R6:

Answer

#R6 (or all PEs)
l2vpn
 logging pseudowire status
 logging redundancy

Explanation

This is a simple lab in which you must enable pseudowire logging in order to see log messages that the VC with R2 goes down and the VC with R4 goes from standby to up.

These logs are useful when troubleshooting and easy enough to enable, so you should use them when you can.

The PW_STATUS log messages come from logging pseudowire status being enabled, and the REDUNDNACY log messages come from logging redundancy being enabled.
