Configuring the CFD protocol version

Three CFD protocol versions are available: IEEE 802.1ag draft5.2 version, IEEE 802.1ag draft5.2 interim

version, and IEEE 802.1ag standard version. Devices in a same MD must use the same CFD protocol
version. Otherwise, they cannot exchange CFD protocol packets.

version

cfd version { draft5 | draft5-plus |
standard }

Optional
By default, CFD uses the standard

version of IEEE 802.1ag.

NOTE:

If an MD is created by using the cfd md command or automatically generated by using the cfd
service-instance maid format command on a device, you cannot switch between the standard and

non-standard versions (draft5.2 version and draft5.2 interim version), however, you can switch between

the draft5.2 version and draft5.2 interim version. This restriction does not apply to the device without an
MD configured.
