Configuring Interfaces for CFM
CFM processes are enabled by default for all physical interfaces, both ports and trunks. You can
use the Administration > CFM (Configure Interface) page to change these settings.
CLI References
• “ethernet cfm port-enable” on page 529
Command Usage
• An interface must be enabled before a MEP can be created (see "Configuring Maintenance End
Points" ).
• If a MEP has been configured on an interface, it must first be deleted before CFM can be
disabled on that interface.
• When CFM is disabled, hardware resources previously used for CFM processing on that
interface are released, and all CFM frames entering that interface are forwarded as normal
data traffic.
Interface
To enable CFM on an interface:
1. Click Administration, CFM.
2. Select Configure Interface from the Step list.
3. Select Port or Trunk.
