◆ An interface must be enabled before a MEP can be created (see
"Configuring Maintenance End Points" ).
◆ If a MEP has been configured on an interface, it must first be deleted
before CFM can be disabled on that interface.
◆ When CFM is disabled, hardware resources previously used for CFM
processing on that interface are released, and all CFM frames entering
that interface are forwarded as normal data traffic.

D OMAINS
Use the Administration > CFM (Configure MD) pages to create and
configure a Maintenance Domain (MD) which defines a portion of the
network for which connectivity faults can be managed. Domain access
points are set up on the boundary of a domain to provide end-to-end
connectivity fault detection, analysis, and recovery. Domains can be
configured in a hierarchy to provide management access to the same basic
network resources for different user levels.
