configured to detect connectivity problems in a timely manner, as
dictated by the nature and size of the MA.
The maintenance of a MIP CCM database by a MIP presents some
difficulty for bridges carrying a large number of Service Instances, and
for whose MEPs are issuing CCMs at a high frequency. For this reason,
slower CCM transmission rates may have to be used.

This example sets the transmission delay for continuity check messages to
level 7 (60 seconds).

This command enables the transmission of continuity check messages
(CCMs) within a specified maintenance association. Use the no form to
disable the transmission of these messages.

CCMs are multicast periodically by a MEP in order to discover other
MEPs in the same MA, and to assure connectivity to all other MEPs/MIPs
in the MA.
Each CCM received is checked to verify that the MEP identifier field sent
in the message does not match its own MEPID, which would indicate a
duplicate MEP or network loop. If these error types are not found, the
CCM is stored in the MEP’s local database until aged out.
If a maintenance point fails to receive three consecutive CCMs from any
other MEP in the same MA, a connectivity failure is registered.
