Configuring CFM MA

Use this procedure to configure the CFM Maintenance Association (MA). An MA represents a logical grouping of monitored entities within its domain. It can therefore represent a set of Maintenance Association End Points (MEPs), each configured with the same Maintenance Association ID (MAID) and MD Level, established to verify the integrity of a single service instance.

Procedure

Enter Global Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal
Create the CFM MA:

cfm maintenance-association WORD<0–22> WORD<0–22> [index <1–2147483647>]
Display the CFM MA configuration:

show cfm maintenance-association
Use the following command, if you want to delete the CFM MA:

no cfm maintenance-association WORD<0–22> WORD<0–22>

Example

Switch:1> enable

Switch:1# configure terminal

Switch:1(config)# cfm maintenance-association md1 ma1 index 98

Switch:1(config)# show cfm maintenance-association
