I don't understand your question.  Do want VRFs on linux? If so look
at http://linux-vrf.sf.net/

Trouble shoot of MPLS networks with existing show commands is quite hard
to do.  I partake in MPLS interoperablity sessions and it is always a tedious
task to trouble shoot the problems we see.

The simple asnswer is yes there are commands, but you have to know how to
pull pieces of info from one show command ans use it in another one.

I do not have a cisco box avilble right now other wise I would give
you some examples.
