Configuring CFM MEP

Use this procedure to configure the 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.

configure terminal
Create the CFM MEP:

cfm maintenance-endpoint WORD<0–22> WORD<0–22> <1–8191> enable [state <enable>]
Enable an existing CFM MEP:

cfm maintenance-endpoint WORD<0–22> WORD<0–22> <1–8191> enable
Disable an existing CFM MEP:

no cfm maintenance-endpoint WORD<0–22> WORD<0–22> <1–8191> enable
Display the CFM MEP configuration:

show cfm maintenance-endpoint
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
