Configuring Explicit CFM

For SPBM B-VLANs, CFM provides two methods for creating MEPs: autogenerated and explicit. You cannot use both. Use the procedures in this section to configure MEPs explicitly.

If you want to create autogenerated CFM MEPs that eliminate the need to configure an MD, MA, and MEP ID, see the procedures in Autogenerated CFM. For C-VLANs, you can only use the autogenerated method.

Note

Note

The CFM show commands that display MD, MA, and MEP information work for both autogenerated and explicitly-configured CFM MEPs.
