Creating and Associating MAs
Within a given domain, you can associate maintenance associations (MAs).
Extreme Networks‘ implementation of CFM associates MAs with service instances. All of the
ports in that service instance are now in that MA and its associated domain.
Each MA associates with one service instance, and each service instance may associate with
more than one MA; you can configure more than one MAs in any one domain.
Like the domains,
ExtremeXOS supports
multiple formats for naming the MA. The following formats are supported
for naming the MAs:
- Character string
- 2-octet integer
- RFC 2685 VPN
- VLAN ID
- Y.1731 MEG name
-
To add an MA to a domain using the character string
format, use the following command:
-
To add an MA to a domain using the 2-octet integer format,
use the following command:
-
To add an MA to a domain using the RFC 2685 VPN ID format,
use the following command:
-
To add an MA to a domain using the VLAN ID format, use the
following command:
-
To add an MA using Y.1731 compliant MEG, use the following
command: configure cfm domain domain_name add association meg [meg name] [vlan vlan_name|vman
vman_name]
-
To delete an MA from a domain, use the following
command:
In addition to supporting multicast
destination MAC address for CCM and LTM frames specified by the 802.1ag standard,
ExtremeXOS CFM supports the use of a unicast destination address for CCM and LTM
frames.
This allows the support of a CFM
operation in a network where use of multicast address is prohibited.
-
To configure the destination MAC address type for an MA,
use the following command:
-
Use the following command to add a remote MEP to an MA
statically:
ExtremeXOS CFM supports configuring
remote MEPs statically for CFM operation where dynamic discovery of MEPs in an MA using
multicast address is prohibited.
-
To delete a remote MEP from an MA, use the following
command:
-
To configure a remote MEP MAC address, use the following
command:
