Configuring frame delay

You can access 802.1ag CFM from the following features:

VPLS Manager (requires the IP - MPLS – VLL prvilege with read-write or read-only permission)

VLL Manager (requires the IP - MPLS – VPLS prvilege with read-write or read-only permission)

VLAN Manager (requires the VLAN Manager prvilege with read-write or read-only permission)

NOTE

802.1ag CFM Frame Delay is only supported on IronWare Ethernet Routers devices running
firmware release 5.4 or later.

NOTE

You cannot configure an 802.1ag CFM on a maintenance end point (MEP) configured with dual
tagged VLANs.

Use frame delay to identify fault locations by sending a query between maintenance end points
(MEP) along the service path of the domain.

To determine frame delay between two MEPs, 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.

Select the Peer Topology tab and right-click a device in the topology and select
802.1ag CFM.
