Usage
Continuity Checks is another term for connectivity fault detection. This makes use
of Continuity Check Messages (CCMs) that are periodically sent by an MEP
(multicast or unicast) and received by other MEP(s). CCMs can be used to detect
connectivity faults across a link (using Link Level MEPs) or across a segment of a
VLAN using VLAN aware MEPs, both of which are used within an MD/MA. CCMs are
sent using multicast or unicast (but not both).
In order to enable a Local MEP to send, the Local MEP's “active” administrative state
must be set to true, using the command
Example

awplus(config-if)#
ethernet cfm mep down mpid 12 domain-name
