Creating 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 virtual area network (VLAN).
• Create maintenance association.
ECFM DOMAIN mode
service name vlan vlan-id
Create Maintenance Points
Domains are comprised of logical entities called maintenance points. A maintenance point is a interface demarcation that connes
CFM frames to a domain.
There are two types of maintenance points:
• Maintenance End Points (MEPs) — a logical entity that marks the end-point of a domain.
• Maintenance Intermediate Points (MIPs) — a logical entity congured at a port of a switch that constitutes intermediate
points of an Maintenance Entity (ME). An ME is a point-to-point relationship between two MEPs within a single domain.
These roles dene the relationships between all devices so that each device can monitor the layers under its responsibility.
Creating a Maintenance End Point
A maintenance endpoint (MEP) is a logical entity that marks the endpoint of a domain.
There are two types of MEPs dened in 802.1ag for an 802.1 bridge:
• Up-MEP — monitors the forwarding path internal to a bridge on the customer or provider edge. On Dell Networking systems,
the internal forwarding path is eectively the switch fabric and forwarding engine.
• Down-MEP — monitors the forwarding path external another bridge.
Congure Up- MEPs on ingress ports, ports that send trac towards the bridge relay. Congure Down-MEPs on egress ports, ports
that send trac away from the bridge relay.
1. Create an MEP.
INTERFACE mode
ethernet cfm mep {up-mep | down-mep} domain {name | level } ma-name name mepid mep-id
The range is from 1 to 8191.
2. Display congured MEPs and MIPs.
EXEC Privilege mode
show ethernet cfm maintenance-points local [mep | mip]
