Remote MAC – MAC address of remote MEP.

Reason – Error types include:

LEAK – MA x is associated with a specific VID list

22

, one or more of the VIDs in this MA can

pass through the bridge port, no MEP is configured facing outward (down) on any bridge
port for this MA, and some other MA y, at a higher maintenance level, and associated with
at least one of the VID(s) also in MA x, does have a MEP configured on the bridge port.

VIDS – MA x is associated with a specific VID list

22

, an MEP is configured facing inward

(up) on this MA on the bridge port, and some other MA y, associated with at least one of
the VID(s) also in MA x, also has an Up MEP configured facing inward (up) on some bridge
port.

EXCESS_LEV – The number of different MD levels at which MIPs are to be created on this
port exceeds the bridge's capabilities.

OVERLAP_LEV – A MEP is created for one VID at one maintenance level, but a MEP is
configured on another VID at an equivalent or higher level, exceeding the bridge's
capabilities.

MA Name – The maintenance association for this entry.

Interface

To show CFM continuity check errors:

1. Click Administration, CFM.

2. Select Show Information from the Step list.

3. Select Show Continuity Check Error from the Action list.

22. This definition is based on the IEEE 802.1ag standard. Current software for this switch only supports a

single VLAN per MA. However, since it may interact with other devices which support multiple VLAN
assignments per MA, this error message may be reported.
