Creates a CFM segment.
segment_name |
An alpha numeric string identifying the segment name. |
mac_addr |
Specifies the MAC address. |
segment_name_to_copy |
Specifies the CFM segment whose configuration is to be copied. |
N/A.
Use this command to explicitly create a CFM segment where the segment name is a 32-byte long alpha-numeric character string.
The following command creates a CFM segment named segment-new using MAC address 00:11:22:11:33:11 and copying segment-old:
create cfm segment segment-new destination 00:11:22:11:33:11 copy segment-old
DMM transmission interval
Class of service
Threshold values
Measurement window size
Note
The copy option is not shown in "show config" as it is used only for copying the existing values when creating a segment.
If you later configure any of the above mentioned information in segment-new, the old value(s) which were copied from segment-old will be overwritten with the new one in segment-new, as is done for any other commands. The same will not be true on the reverse case. If you modify the values of segment-old, the modified value will NOT be propagated to the CFM segments which use segment-old's configurations. In other words, the configurations of segment-old that are at the time of creating segment-new will alone be copied and not any other changes that are made to segment-old later on.
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 12.3.
This command is available on the Summit X450-G2, X460-G2, X670-G2, X770, and ExtremeSwitching X440-G2, X590, X620, X690, X870 series switches.
