Command Usage
◆
A link trace message is a multicast CFM frame initiated by a MEP, and forwarded
from MIP to MIP, with each MIP generating a link trace reply, up to the point at
which the link trace message reaches its destination or can no longer be
forwarded.
◆
Use this command to enable the link trace cache to store the results of link
trace operations initiated on this device. Use the
ethernet cfm linktrace
command to transmit a link trace message.
◆
Link trace responses are returned from each MIP along the path and from the
target MEP. Information stored in the cache includes the maintenance domain
name, MA name, MEPID, sequence number, and TTL value.
