Configuration Mode Description
Global System configuration System level CFM configuration and access to CFM default and MD configuration modes takes place in global system configuration mode. See CFM Global Configuration for a listing of CFM global system configuration commands.
Default Maintenance Domain configuration Default maintenance domain is the CFM configuration mode with the lowest precedence. If no other configuration levels are administratively configured for a given global CFM parameter, the system default maintenance domain configured value for that parameter is used. Throughout this document system default maintenance domain configuration mode is referred to as system default MD. See CFM Global and Monitored VLAN Service Default Configuration for a listing of system default MD configuration commands.
Default maintenance domain VLAN Default maintenance domain VLAN configuration mode has a higher precedence than system default MD configuration but is lower than all other CFM modes that contain the same parameters. See CFM Global and Monitored VLAN Service Default Configuration for a listing of Default maintenance domain VLAN configuration commands.
Maintenance Domain (MD) configuration Provides access to the MD configuration commands and MA configuration mode. Through out this document maintenance domain configuration mode is referred to as MD configuration mode. MD configuration has a higher precedence than either of the default configuration modes. See CFM Maintenance Domain (MD) Configuration for a listing of maintenance domain configuration commands.
Maintenance Association (MA) configuration Provides access to the MA configuration commands and MA-Comp and MEP configuration modes. Through out this document maintenance association configuration mode is referred to as MA configuration mode. See CFM Maintenance Association (MA) Configuration for a listing of maintenance association configuration commands.
Maintenance Association Component (MA-Comp) configuration Provides access to MA component configuration commands. MA component configuration is a subset of MA configuration. Through out this document maintenance association component configuration mode is referred to as MA-Comp configuration mode. MA-Comp configuration has a higher precedence than either of the default modes and the MD configuration mode. See CFM Maintenance Association Component (MA-Comp) Configuration for a listing of MA component configuration commands.
Maintenance End-Point (MEP) configuration Provides access to MEP configuration commands. Through out this document maintenance end-point configuration mode is referred to as MEP configuration mode. See CFM Maintenance Association End-Point (MEP) Configuration for a listing of maintenance end-point configuration commands.
