CFM Commands
ethernet cfm mep
This command sets an interface as a domain boundary, defines it as a maintenance end point
(MEP), and sets direction of the MEP in regard to sending and receiving CFM messages. Use the no
form to delete a MEP.
Syntax
ethernet cfm mep mpid mpid md domain-name ma ma-name [up]
no ethernet cfm mep mpid mpid ma ma-name
mpid – Maintenance end point identifier. (Range: 1-8191)
domain-name – Domain name. (Range: 1-43 alphanumeric characters)
ma-name – Maintenance association name. (Range: 1-43 alphanumeric characters,
maximum length is 44 minus the length of the domain name)
up – Indicates that the MEP faces inward toward the switch cross-connect matrix, and
transmits CFM messages towards, and receives them from, the direction of the internal
bridge relay mechanism. If the up keyword is not included in this command, then the MEP
is facing away from the switch, and transmits CFM messages towards, and receives them
from, the direction of the physical medium.
Default Setting
No MEPs are configured.
The MEP faces outward (down).
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
•
CFM elements must be configured in the following order: (1) maintenance domain at the same
level as the MEP to be configured (using the
command), (2) maintenance
association within the domain (using the
command), and (3) finally the MEP
using this command.
•
An interface may belong to more than one domain. This command can be used to configure an
interface as a MEP for different MAs in different domains.
•
To change the MEP’s MA or the direction it faces, first delete the MEP, and then create a new
one.
Example
This example sets port 1 as a DSAP for the specified maintenance association.
