configure cfm domain domain-name association association_name destination-mac-type [unicast | multicast]

Description

Allows you to choose the destination MAC type for sending CFM PDUs for an MA.

Syntax Description

domain_name

Enter the domain associated with the MA you are configuring.

association_name

IEEE 802.1ag or ITU-T Y.1731 association name.

unicast

CFM PDUs are sent to the unicast MAC address configured in static remote MEP creation.

multicast

CFM PDUs are sent to the standard multicast destination address.

Default

Multicast.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to change the MAC type on a previously configured MA. If multicast is selected, CFM PDUs are sent to the standard multicast destination. If unicast is selected, CFM PDUs are sent to the unicast MAC address configured in static remote MEP creation.

Use the show cfm command to verify your configuration.

E4G400, E4G200, and Summit X460 do not support unicast CCM (Continuity Check Message) generation. When the user configures the destination MAC type as unicast, the following message appears:

Error: IEEE 802.1ag PDUs can be sent only to standard multicast address on this platform
