We have seen many VPLS connections went down with the state : deleted.

Please help to explain why the vpls connection went down with the state deleted.

The DELETED state in an L2 Virtual Circuit (VC) context typically refers to a condition where the virtual circuit has been explicitly removed or is no longer active in the Layer 2 (L2) networking configuration.

The specifics of this state can vary depending on the protocol or technology in use.

The VC does not exist in the system’s configuration & hence it goes as deleted.

But if the l2circuit is configured in the device, the VC will go down as VC-Dn.

1. VC-Dn (Virtual Circuit Down)

Meaning:

• VC-Dn indicates that the virtual circuit exists in the configuration but is currently non-operational or inactive.
• The VC is unable to pass traffic due to an issue or missing resources.

2. DELETED

Meaning:

• The DELETED state indicates that the virtual circuit has been removed from the configuration or explicitly terminated.
• The VC no longer exists in the system.

Characteristics:

• The VC does not exist in the system’s configuration.
