Managing MPLS Networks
The following topics describe how to view and manage aspects of Multiprotocol Label Switching 
(MPLS) services using the Vision client, including the MPLS service view, business configuration, and 
maps. The topics also describe the device inventory specific to MPLS VPNs, including routing entities, 
label switched entities (LSEs), BGP Neighbours, Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP), VRF instances, 
pseudowires, and TE tunnels. If you cannot perform an operation that is described in these topics, you 
may not have sufficient permissions; see Permissions for Managing MPLS Services, page B-18.

Viewing IPv6 Information (6VPE)
Prime Network supports IPv6 for: 
Gateways, clients, and units using IPv6. 
Communications between VNEs and devices in IPv6 environments, whether the device management 
IP address is IPv4 or IPv6. 
						

							  
17-2
Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide
Chapter 17      Managing MPLS Networks
  Viewing IPv6 Information (6VPE)
Polling and notification using the following protocols over IPv6:
–SNMP v1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3
–Te l n e t
–SSHv2
–ICMP
–XML (for Cisco IOS XR devices)
–HTTP (for Cisco UCS and VMware vCenter devices)
All reports with devices that use IPv6 addresses. 
Fault management, including event processing and service alarm generation. 
Prime Network supports correlation and path tracing for:
6PE and native IPv6 networks. 
IPv6 BGP address families. 
IPv6 GRE tunnels. 
IPv6 VPN over MPLS, also known as 6VPE, uses the existing MPLS IPv4 core infrastructure for IPv6 
transport to enable IPv6 sites to communicate over an MPLS IPv4 core network using MPLS label switch 
paths (LSPs). 6VPE relies on MP-BGP extensions in the IPv4 network configuration on the PE router to 
exchange IPv6 reachability information. Edge routers are configured to be dual-stacks running both IPv4 
and IPv6, and use the IPv4-mapped IPv6 address for IPv6 prefix reachability exchange. 
In 6VPE environments, Prime Network supports: 
Modeling of OSPFv3 routes between PE and CE devices. 
IPv6 addresses for BGP Neighbours for MP-BGP.
Correlation and path tracing.
The Vision client displays IPv6 addresses when they are configured on PE and CE routers in the IP 
interface table. IPv6 addresses are:
Displayed in the Vision client map pane for IPv6 links.
Displayed in logical and physical inventory for routing and interface information, including IP, PPP, 
and High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC). 
Used in Cisco PathTracer to trace paths and present path trace results.

  Viewing IPv6 Information (6VPE)
Table 17-1 describes where IPv6 information appears in logical and physical inventory. 
Table 17-1 IPv6 Information in Inventory
Inventory Location Description
Logical Inventory
6rd Tunnels The Tunnel Edges table displays IPv6 addresses and the IPv6 
prefixes that are used to translate IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses. 
For more information, see Viewing 6rd Tunnel Properties, 
page 17-49. 
Access Lists
The Type field displays IPv6 for IPv6 access lists.
If an IPv6 access list is configured, the Access List Properties 
window displays IPv6 addresses in the Source, Destination, 
Source Wildcard, and Destination Wildcard fields. 
Carrier Grade NAT Carrier Grade NAT service types include 6rd and XLAT.
For more information, see Viewing Carrier Grade NAT Properties in 
Logical Inventory, page 20-2.
GRE Tunnels The IP Address field supports IPv6 addresses.
For more information, see Viewing MPLS Pseudowire Over GRE 
Properties, page 26-31. 
IS-IS IS-IS properties support: 
IPv6 address families in the Metrics tab.
IPv6 addresses in the Neighbours tab and the IS-IS Neighbour 
Properties window.
For more information, see Viewing IS-IS Properties, page 18-130. 
MPBGPs
IP address family identifiers indicate the BGP peer address 
family: IPv4, IPv6, Layer 2 VPN, VPNv4, or VPNv6. 
MP-BGP BGP Neighbour entries display IPv6 addresses. 
For information, see Viewing MP-BGP Information, page 17-48.
OSPFv3 IPv6 addresses are displayed for OSPF Neighbour interface 
addresses, OSPF interface internet addresses, OSPF Neighbour 
properties window, and OSPF interface properties window.
For more information, see Viewing OSPF Properties, page 18-133. 
Routing Entities
IPv6 addresses appear in the IP Interfaces tab, the IPv6 Routing 
tab, and the interface properties window.
IPv6 addresses are displayed in the NDP Table tab and the ARP 
Entry Properties window.
VRRP groups using IPv6 display IPv6 addresses in the IP 
Interfaces Properties window in the VRRP group tab. 
For more information, see Viewing Routing Entities, page 17-32. 
VRFs IPv6 addresses appear in the IPv6 tab, Sites tab, VRF Properties 
window, and IP Interface Properties window. 
For more information, see Viewing VRF Properties, page 17-28.

Chapter 17      Managing MPLS Networks
  Viewing IPv6 Information (6VPE)
The IP addresses that appear depend on whether the interface has only IPv4 addresses, only IPv6 
addresses, or both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, as shown in Table 17-2.
Note the following when working with IPv6 addresses:
MPLS label switching entries and Label Switching Entities (LSEs) do not display IPv6 addresses. 
However, the Neighbour Discovery Protocol (NDP) table does display IPv6 addresses.
Prime Network supports all the textual presentations of address prefixes. However, the Vision client 
displays both the IP address and the subnet prefix, for example:
12AB::CD30:123:4567:89AB:CDEF, 12AB:0:0:CD30::/60
NoteInterfaces or subinterfaces that do not have IP addresses are not discovered and therefore are not shown 
in the Vision client.
Figure 17-1 shows a port inventory view of a port with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. In this example, one 
IPv4 address and multiple IPv6 addresses are provisioned on the interface.
The primary IPv4 address appears in the interface table and properties window. If secondary IPv4 
addresses were provisioned on the interface, they would appear in the properties window. 
IPv6 addresses provisioned on the interface appear in the properties window and Sub Interfaces tab.
Physical Inventory
Port IPv6 addresses appear in the Subinterfaces tab and interface 
properties popup window.
