CFM Commands

Also note that while MEPs are active agents which can initiate consistency check messages
(CCMs), transmit loop back or link trace messages, and maintain the local CCM database.
MIPs, on the other hand are passive agents which can only validate received CFM messages,
and respond to loop back and link trace messages.
The MIP creation method defined by the
command takes precedence over the
method defined by this command.
Example
This example creates a maintenance domain set to maintenance level 3, and enters CFM
configuration mode for this domain.
Console(config)#ethernet cfm domain index 1 name voip level 3 mip-creation
explicit
Console(config-ether-cfm)#

processing globally.

Command Usage
•
To avoid generating an excessive number of traps, the complete CFM maintenance structure
and process parameters should be configured prior to globally enabling CFM processing with
this command. Specifically, the maintenance domains, maintenance associations, and MEPs
should be configured on each participating bridge.
•
When CFM is enabled, hardware resources are allocated for CFM processing.
Example
This example enables CFM globally on the switch.
Console(config)#ethernet cfm enable
Console(config)#
