record mpls

To configure the flow record map name for MPLS, use the record mpls command in flow monitor map configuration mode. To remove the configured name from a flow record, use the no form of this command.

record mpls [ipv4-fields] [ipv6-fields] [ipv4-ipv6-fields] [labels number]

Syntax Description

ipv4-fields

(Optional) Collects IPv4 fields in the MPLS-aware Netflow when the payload of the MPLS packet has IPv4 fields. It also collects MPLS traffic with no IPv4 payload, but the IPv4 fields are set to zero.

ipv6-fields

(Optional) Collects IPv6 fields in the MPLS-aware Netflow when the payload of the MPLS packet has IPv6 fields. It also collects MPLS traffic with no IPv6 payload, but the IPv6 fields are set to zero.

ipv4-ipv6-fields

(Optional) Collects IPv4 and IPv6 fields in the MPLS-aware Netflow when the payload of the MPLS packet has either IPv4 fields or IPv6 fields. It also collects MPLS traffic with no IPv4 or IPv6 payload, but those fields are set to zero.

labels number

(Optional) Changes the number of labels stored in the NetFlow cache. The number argument is the number of labels that are used in hashing. The range is from 1 to 6.

Command Default

The default is no IPV4 fields and six labels.

Command Modes

Usage Guidelines

In Cisco IOS XR software, you can have only one MPLS flow monitor running on an interface at a time. If you apply an additional MPLS flow monitor to the interface, the new flow monitor overwrites the existing one.

You can configure the MPLS flow monitor to collect IPv4 fields, IPv6 fields, or both types of fields.

Modification

Release 6.0

This command was introduced.

Release 24.1.1

This command was modified to include additional BGP information elements.

Usage Guidelines

To collect source and destination AS information, you must enable BGP on the relevant BGP AFI/SAFI. Unless this is done, all AS numbers in the flow records are displayed as 0.

Keep these information in mind when using the show flow monitor command:

  • The show flow monitor command can include combinations of these options:
    • format

    • match

    • include

    • exclude

    • sort

    • summary

    • location

  • We do not recommend including the summary option with the sort and format options.
  • The mutually exclusive options are summary, brief, include, and exclude.
  • To see a list of fields that can be included after a keyword, enter the ? command, as shown in this example:
    
    RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show flow monitor map1 cache summary ?
    
      brief     Show just the key fields

source type interface-path-id

Syntax Description

type

Interface type. For more information, use the question mark ( ? ) online help function.

interface-path-id

Physical interface or virtual interface.

Modification

Usage Guidelines

For the interface-path-id argument, use the following guidelines:

  • If specifying T1/E1/DS0 physical interfaces, the naming notation is rack/slot/module/port/t1-num:
  • channel-group-number. If specifying other physical interface types, the naming notation is rack/slot/module/port. The slash between values is required as part of the notation. An explanation of each component of the naming notation is as follows:

    • rack: Chassis number of the rack.

    • slot: Physical slot number of the modular services card or line card.

    • module: Module number. A physical layer interface module (PLIM) is always 0. Shared port adapters (SPAs) are referenced by their subslot number.

    • port: Physical port number of the T3 controller.

    • t1-num : T1 or E1 channel number. T1 channels range from 1 to 24; E1 channels range from 1 to 31.

    • channel-group-number : Time slot number. T1 time slots range from 1 to 24; E1 time slots range from 1 to 31. The channel-group-number is preceded by a colon and not a slash.

    • source-address : Source address supports IPv4 or IPv6 address.

  • If specifying a virtual interface, the number range varies, depending on interface type.
