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.
