The articles in this category describe the configuration guidelines for ECFM and Y.1731 in SI (Single Instance) mode.

Configuration Guidelines

1. The following commands must be executed in the specified sequence to start and configure the ECFM and Y.1731 entities:

enable
configure terminal
vlan < vlan-id >
ports interface < type > < interface-id >
vlan active
exit
ethernet cfm domain name <domain-name> level <level-id>
service name < ma-name > [vlan < vlan-id >]
mep crosscheck mpid <mepid> [vlan < vlan-id >] 
exit
ethernet cfm enable
ethernet cfm y1731 enable
interface <interface-type><interface-id>
ethernet cfm mep level < level-id > [inward] mpid < mepid > [vlan < vlan-id >] [active]
exit
ethernet cfm cc level < a,b,c-d > [vlan < a,b,c-d >] interval {three-hundred-hertz | ten-ms | hundred-ms | one-sec | ten-sec | one-min | ten-min}
ethernet cfm cc enable level < a,b,c-d > [vlan < a,b,c-d >]
exit

2. The interface type is gigabitethernet and the interface ID needs to be specified as 0/n, where n is the interface number.

Default Configurations

ECFM is operationally disabled when the switch comes up. When the ECFM is enabled and the ECFM entities (MD, MA, MEP, and MIP) are configured; then CC, LB, and LT functionalities can be started.

By default, Y.1731 features are disabled. It can be enabled only after enabling ECFM. When Y.1731 is enabled, then TST, AIS, LCK, Frame Loss, and Frame Delay functionalities can be started.
