Configuring Ethernet CFM
Ethernet CFM Configuration Guidelines
•
CFM is not supported and cannot be configured on routed ports.
•
CFM is supported on EtherChannel port channels. You can configure an EtherChannel port channel
as MEP or MIP. However, CFM is not supported on individual ports that belong to an EtherChannel
and you cannot add a CFM port to an EtherChannel group.
•
You cannot configure CFM on VLAN interfaces.
•
CFM is not supported on private VLAN ports. The configuration is allowed, but does not take affect.
Preparing the Ethernet CFM Network
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to prepare the network for Ethernet CFM:
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ethernet cfm traceroute cache
[
size
entries |
hold-time
minutes
]
(Optional) Configure the CFM traceroute cache. You can
set a maximum cache size or hold time.
•
(Optional) For
size
, enter the cache size in number of
entry lines. The range is from 1 to 4095; the default is
100 lines.
•
(Optional) For
hold-time
, enter the maximum cache
hold time in minutes. The range is from 1 to 65535; the
default is 100 minutes.
Step 3
ethernet cfm domain
domain-name
level
level-id
Define a CFM domain, set the domain level, and enter
ethernet-cfm configuration mode for the domain. The
maintenance level number range is 0 to 7.
Step 4
mep archive-hold-time
minutes
(Optional) Set the number of minutes that data from a
missing maintenance end point (mep) is kept before it is
purged. The range is 1 to 65535; the default is 100 minutes.
Step 5
exit
Return to global configuration mode.
Step 6
interface
interface-id
Specify a physical interface or a port channel to configure,
and enter interface configuration
mode.
Step 7
ethernet cfm mip level
level-id
Configure an operator-level maintenance intermediate
point (MIP) for the domain level-ID defined in Step 3.
Note
If you plan to configure a MEP at level 7 on this
interface, do not use this command to configure a
MIP on the interface.
Step 8
exit
Return to global configuration mode.
