Create a Maintenance Domain
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) divides a network into hierarchical maintenance domains, as
shown in Figure 7-1.
Create a Maintenance Association
A Maintenance Association MA is a subdivision of an MD that contains all managed entities
corresponding to a single end-to-end service, typically a VLAN. An MA is associated with a VLAN ID.
