Before starting the cross-check process, first configure the remote MEPs that exist on other
devices inside the maintenance association using the Remote MEP List (see
"Configuring
Remote Maintenance End Points" ). These remote MEPs are used in the cross-check operation
to verify that all endpoints in the specified MA are operational.
The cross-check start delay, which sets the maximum delay this device waits for a remote MEP
to come up before starting the cross-check operation, is a domain-level parameter. To set this
parameter, use the CFM MD Configuration screen (see
"Configuring CFM Maintenance
Domains" ).
• AIS Status – Enables/disables suppression of the Alarm Indication Signal (AIS). (Default:
Disabled)
• AIS Period – Configures the period at which AIS is sent in an MA. (Range: 1 or 60 seconds;
Default: 1 second)
• AIS Transmit Level – Configure the AIS maintenance level in an MA. (Range: 0-7; Default is 0)
• AIS Level must follow this rule: AIS Level >= Domain Level
• AIS Suppress Alarm – Enables/disables suppression of the AIS. (Default: Disabled)
