Re: MPLS ping not working

For some reason I didn't get the original message.

I think the reason it might not be working in the original request is
that the route shows implicit null. In other words the label will be
popped and forwarded as normal IP traffic.

In this case "show mpls forwarding-table" would probably be more
useful than "show mpls bindings"

here is an article about both ping mpls and traceroute mpls

(sorry IPexpert, I didn't see a blog from you about the topic).
