ESSAGES

Use the Administration > CFM (Transmit Link Trace) page to transmit link

trace messages (LTMs). These messages can isolate connectivity faults by

tracing the path through a network to the designated target node (i.e., a

remote maintenance end point).

LTMs can be targeted to MEPs, not MIPs. Before sending a link trace

message, be sure you have configured the target MEP for the specified

MA (see

"Configuring Remote Maintenance End Points"

).

If the MAC address of target MEP has not been learned by any local

MEP, then the linktrace may fail. Use the Show Information (Show

Remote MEP) page to verify that a MAC address has been learned for

the target MEP.
