Abstract
Systems, methods, and machine-readable and executable instructions are provided for customer edge device problem identification. Customer edge device problem identification can include obtaining a status of a connection between a provider edge (PE) device and a customer edge (CE) device. Customer edge device problem identification can also include determining whether the status of the connection is non-normal. Customer edge device problem identification can include sending an internet control message protocol (ICMP) echo request to the CE device in response to the status of the connection being non-normal. Customer edge device problem identification can include receiving an ICMP echo response from the CE device. Customer edge device problem identification can also include identifying a simple network management protocol (SNMP) problem that is associated with the CE device based upon the receipt of the ICMP echo response.
