802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management
802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) is an IEEE standard used to define protocols and
practices for Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM). 802.1ag CFM enables
you to manage your network infrastructure remotely. Once you configure a maintenance
association and its associated end points, you can perform the following fault management
checks:
• Fault detection using connectivity status
• Fault verification using loopback messages
• Fault isolation using linktrace messages
• Fault isolation using frame delay
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.
