Usage

The CFM service network is partitioned into maintenance levels. Each maintenance level is defined by the reach and scope of the organization which administers the network equipment. Higher maintenance levels exist at the edge of the network. Network customers typically own these higher levels. Lower maintenance levels typically reside closer to the network core, and are usually reserved for service providers or network operators. Maintenance levels are hierarchical in nature. Higher maintenance levels encapsulate lower maintenance levels.

The “no” form of this command sets the maintenance domain level to the default value of 0.

Example
