  Viewing MPLS LDP, Static Information
As part of the topological link support, Prime Network started supporting two new service alarms MPLS 
Link down and MPLS Link up, besides MPLS-TP inventory information. These alarms are raised on 
the MPLS links during misconfigurations of physical links or shut down of physical interfaces. To view 
the service alarms supported by Prime Network, refer Cisco Prime Network Supported...
