Command Mode

ERPS Configuration

Command Usage

If this command is used to monitor the link status of an ERPS node with CFM continuity check
messages, then the MEG level set by the

meg-level

command must match the authorized

maintenance level of the CFM domain to which the specified MEP belongs.

To ensure complete monitoring of a ring node, use the mep-monitor command specify the CFM
MEPs used to monitor both the east and west ports of the ring node.

If CFM determines that a MEP node which has been configured to monitor a ring port with this
command has gone down, this information is passed to ERPS, which in turn processes it as a
ring node failure. For more information on how ERPS recovers from a node failure, refer to

“Ethernet Ring Protection Switching”

on page 961.

Example

Console(config-erps)#mep-monitor east mep 1

Console(config-erps)#

Command Usage

The ring node identifier is informational, and does not affect ring protection switching operations. It
may be used for debugging, such as to distinguish messages when a node is connected to more
than one ring.

Example

Console(config-erps)#node-id 00-12-CF-61-24-2D

Console(config-erps)#
