is registered. The interval at which CCMs are issued should therefore be

configured to detect connectivity problems in a timely manner, as

dictated by the nature and size of the MA.

The maintenance of a MIP CCM database by a MIP presents some

difficulty for bridges carrying a large number of Service Instances, and

for whose MEPs are issuing CCMs at a high frequency. For this reason,

slower CCM transmission rates may have to be used.

This example sets the transmission delay for continuity check messages to

level 7 (60 seconds).

(CCMs) within a specified maintenance association. Use the no form to

disable the transmission of these messages.

CCMs are multicast periodically by a MEP in order to discover other

MEPs in the same MA, and to assure connectivity to all other MEPs/MIPs

in the MA.

Each CCM received is checked to verify that the MEP identifier field sent

in the message does not match its own MEPID, which would indicate a

duplicate MEP or network loop. If these error types are not found, the

CCM is stored in the MEP’s local database until aged out.

If a maintenance point fails to receive three consecutive CCMs from any

other MEP in the same MA, a connectivity failure is registered.
