Configuring Ethernet CFM

Configuring a Port MEP
A port MEP is a down MEP that is not associated with a VLAN and that uses untagged frames to carry
CFM messages. You configure port MEPs on two connected interfaces. Port MEPs are always configured
at a lower domain level than native VLAN MEPs.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Review the “Information About Ethernet CFM” section on page 17-2 and “Ethernet CFM Configuration
Guidelines” section on page 17-7.
DETAILED STEPS
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ethernet cfm domain domain-name level
level-id
Define a CFM domain, set the domain level, and
enter ethernet-cfm configuration mode for the
domain. The maintenance level number range is 0 to
7.
Step 3
service {ma-name | ma-number | vpn-id} port Define a customer service maintenance association
name or number or VPN ID to be associated with the
domain, define a port MEP, and enter
ethernet-cfm-service configuration mode.
• ma-name—a string of no more than 100
characters that identifies the MAID.
• ma-number—a value from 0 to 65535.
• vpn-id vpn—enter a VPN ID as the ma-name.
Step 4
mep mpid identifier Define the static remote maintenance end point
identifier in the domain and service. The range is 1
to 8191
Step 5
continuity-check Enable sending and receiving of continuity check
messages.
Step 6
continuity-check interval value (Optional) Set the interval at which continuity check
messages are sent. The available values are 100 ms,
1 second, 10 seconds, 1 minute and 10 minutes. The
default is 10 seconds.
Note Because faster CCM rates are more
CPU-intensive, we do not recommend
configuring a large number of MEPs running
at 100 ms intervals.
