Configuring Maintenance End Points


This article describes how to configure Maintenance End Points.


Note: The Maintenance Domain and Maintenance Association must be configured prior to the configuration of the Maintenance End Points.

CLI Configurations

To configure Maintenance End Points

  1. Execute the steps given for configuring the MA to which MEP needs to be associated.

  2. Enter into the ECFM configuration mode and statically define an MEP in an MA-MEP list within a MA.

Your Product(config-ether-ecfm)# mep crosscheck mpid 5 vlan 101


Note: VLAN-Unaware MEP can be defined without specifying the vlan parameter in the command.

3. Make port 10 a member port of VLAN 101 and configure the VLAN 101 as active.

Your Product(config)# vlan 101
Your Product(config-vlan)# ports gigabitethernet 0/10
Your Product(config-vlan)# vlan active
  1. Enter into the interface configuration mode.
Your Product(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/10
  1. Configure MEP on the interface in the MD and MA.
Your Product(configure-if)#ethernet cfm mep level 7 mpid 5 vlan 101


Note: In the command inward keyword needs to be specified for up (inward) direction MEP. Otherwise MEP will be configured as down (outward) direction MEP.

  1. Enable the configured MEP.
Your Product(config-if)# ethernet cfm mep level 7 mpid 5 vlan 101 active

To delete MEP

  1. Enter into the interface configuration mode and disable the configured MEP.
Your Product(config-if)# no ethernet cfm mep level 7 mpid 5 vlan 101 active
  1. Remove the MEP configuration from the interface.
Your Product(config-if)# no ethernet cfm mep level 7 mpid 5 vlan 101
  1. Return to the global configuration mode.
Your Product(config-if)# exit


Notes:
Port (on which the MEP is configured) and VLAN (VLAN with which MEP is associated) must exist and must be set as UP, and ECFM must be enabled on the port, for starting VLAN Aware MEP functionality.

The vlan keyword should not be provided with the command for the configuration of VLAN-Unaware MEP.

MEP must be enabled explicitly as MEP is disabled by default.

User can enter MEP configuration mode by executing ethernet cfm mep level mpid vlan command. Where user can configure ccm unicast mac address, client’s mac address for AIS and LCK, drop eligibility and vlan priority of various CFM PDUs, threshold values for delay and loss functionality, capabilities, offload status, etc..


Displaying the Configured Maintenance Points

This section describes the command that is used to display the configured maintenance points in the system once logged in and in global configuration mode.

CLI Configurations

  1. Display the MEPs configured on the bridge.
Your Product# show ethernet cfm maintenance-point local mep
