dot1ag-compliance

Enables IEEE 802.1ag (Dot1ag) compliance configuration mode to configure left and right interfaces, by associating MD name, MA name, MEP ID, and RMEP ID per interface for both ERP left and right interfaces for signal failure and recovery. This allows MDs, MAs, and MEPs to be configured as part of Dot1ag and to be associated with an Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) instance to achieve faster convergence.

Syntax

dot1ag-compliance

no dot1ag-compliance

Command Default

IEEE 802.1ag compliance is not configured by default.

Modes

ERP configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

IEEE 802.1ag can be used to monitor ERP interfaces for signal failures. This command uses Dot1ag link status as a signal failure/recovery indication following a link status change on ERP ring interfaces, linking Dot1ag MEP status to ERP switching functionality.

Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.

Examples

The following example uses the erp command to enter Dot1ag compliance configuration mode. In this mode the user configures MD name, MA name, MEP ID, and RMEP ID per interface for both ERP left and right interfaces.

device# configure terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal
device(config-erp-2)# dot1ag-compliance
device(config-dot1ag-compliance)# left-interface domain-name md1 ma-name ma4 mep 2 remote-mep 1
device(config-dot1ag-compliance)# right-interface domain-name md1 ma-name ma3 mep 1 remote-mep 2

The following example disables Dot1ag compliance.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# erp 1
device(config-erp-1)# no dot1ag-compliance
