Configure Connectivity Fault Management Maintenance Endpoint

Use this procedure to configure the Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) Maintenance Endpoint (MEP). A MEP represents a managed CFM entity, associated with a specific Domain Service Access Point (DoSAP) of a service instance, which can generate and receive CFM Protocol Data Units (PDU) and track any responses. A MEP is created by MEP ID under the context of an MA.

Procedure

  1. Enter Global Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

  2. Create the CFM MEP:

    cfm maintenance-endpoint WORD<0–22> WORD<0–22> <1–8191> enable [state <enable>]

  3. Enable an existing CFM MEP:

    cfm maintenance-endpoint WORD<0–22> WORD<0–22> <1–8191> enable

  4. Disable an existing CFM MEP:

    no cfm maintenance-endpoint WORD<0–22> WORD<0–22> <1–8191> enable

  5. Display the CFM MEP configuration:

    show cfm maintenance-endpoint

  6. Delete an existing CFM MEP:

    no cfm maintenance-endpoint WORD<0–22> WORD<0–22> <1–8191>

Example

Switch:1> enable

Switch:1# configure terminal

Switch:1(config)# cfm maintenance-endpoint md1 ma1 1 state enable

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