NOTE
802.1ag CFM is only supported on IronWare Ethernet Routers devices running firmware release 5.2
or later.
NOTE
You cannot configure an 802.1ag CFM on a maintenance end point (MEP) configured with dual
tagged VLANs.
Use linktrace messages to identify fault locations by sending a query to maintenance end points
(MEP) or maintenance intermediate points (MIP) along the service path of the domain.
To send a link trace message to a specific MEP or MIP in the domain, complete the following steps.
1. Choose one of the following options:
• From the VPLS Manager dialog box, Views tab, choose one of the following options:
 Select a device from the VPLS Peer Status/VPLS Name/VCID list and click 802.1ag
CFM.

802.1ag CFM.
• From the VLL Manager dialog box, Views tab, select an instance from the VLL Instances
table and click 802.1ag CFM.

point (MEP) or maintenance intermediate point (MIP) in the domain in the Maintenance End
Points (MEP) table.
