ccm-interval

Use this command to set the interval between continuity check messages (CCM)s.

Syntax

ccm-interval {1sec | 10sec | 1min | 10min}
no ccm-interval

Parameters

1sec Sets the interval between CCM transmissions used by all MEPs in the MA to 1 second (Default).
10sec Sets the interval between CCM transmissions used by all MEPs in the MA to 10 seconds.
1min Sets the interval between CCM transmissions used by all MEPs in the MA to 1 minute.
10min Sets the interval between CCM transmissions used by all MEPs in the MA to 10 minutes.

Defaults

The CCM interval defaults to 1 second.

Mode

Maintenance Association Configuration mode.

Usage

All maintenance end points (MEPs) in an association are configured for the same CCM interval. The source MEP sends a continuity check message at the interval set by this command. If the remote end-point does not receive the continuity check message within a period of 3.5 times the configured CCM interval, an error is logged. Intermediate-points (MIPs) do not actively log errors.

Should the remote end-point not be configured for the same CCM interval as the source end-point, CFM logs a configuration error and potentially triggers a defect.

Example

This example sets the interval between CCM transmissions used by all MEPs in the myMA1 maintenance association to 10 seconds:

System(rw-config)->cfm md string-name myMD1
System(su-config-cfm-md.1)->ma string-name myMA1
System(su-config-cfm-ma.1)->ccm-interval 10sec
