3.
Configure the local maintenance end points (MEPs) which will serve as
the domain service access points for the specified maintenance
association using the MEP List (see
4.
Enter a static list of MEPs assigned to other devices within the same
maintenance association using the Remote MEP List (see
Remote Maintenance End Points"
). This allows CFM to automatically
verify the functionality of these remote end points by cross-checking
the static list configured on this device against information learned
through continuity check messages.
5.
Enable CFM globally on the switch using the Configure Global screen
(see
"Configuring Global Settings for CFM"
6.
Enable CFM on the local MEPs using the Configure Interface screen (see
"Configuring Interfaces for CFM"
7.
Enable continuity check and cross-check operations, and configure AIS
parameters using the Configure MA – Configure Details screen (see
"Configuring CFM Maintenance Associations"
Other configuration changes may be required for your particular
environment, such as adjusting the interval at which continuity check
messages are sent (see
"Configuring CFM Maintenance Associations"
), or
setting the start-up delay for the cross-check operation (see
). You can also enable SNMP traps for events
discovered by continuity check messages or cross-check messages (see

CFM Status – Enables CFM processing globally on the switch.
(Default: Enabled)
To avoid generating an excessive number of traps, the complete CFM
maintenance structure and process parameters should be configured
prior to enabling CFM processing globally on the switch. Specifically, the
maintenance domains, maintenance associations, and maintenance
end-points (MEPs) should be configured on each participating bridge
