CFM Commands

25

ma-name – Maintenance association name. (Range: 1-43 alphanumeric characters,
maximum length is 44 minus the length of the domain name)

upIndicates that the MEP faces inward toward the switch cross-connect matrix, and
transmits CFM messages towards, and receives them from, the direction of the internal
bridge relay mechanism. If the up keyword is not included in this command, then the MEP
is facing away from the switch, and transmits CFM messages towards, and receives them
from, the direction of the physical medium.

Default Setting

No MEPs are configured.
The MEP faces outward (down).

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

Command Usage

CFM elements must be configured in the following order: (1) maintenance domain at the same
level as the MEP to be configured (using the

ethernet cfm domain

command), (2) maintenance

association within the domain (using the

ma index name

command), and (3) finally the MEP

using this command.

An interface may belong to more than one domain. This command can be used to configure an
interface as a MEP for different MAs in different domains.

To change the MEP’s MA or the direction it faces, first delete the MEP, and then create a new
one.

Example

This example sets port 1 as a DSAP for the specified maintenance association.

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1

Console(config-if)#ethernet cfm mep mpid 1 md voip ma rd

Console(config-if)#

ethernet cfm port-enable

This command enables CFM processing on an interface. Use the no form to disable CFM
processing on an interface.

Syntax

[no] ethernet cfm port-enable

Default Setting

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

Command Usage
