efd
To enable Ethernet Fault Detection (EFD) on all down Maintenance End Points (MEPs) in a down MEPs
service, use the
efd
command in CFM domain service configuration mode. To disable EFD, use the no form
of this command.
efd
{
protection-switching
}
no efd
Syntax Description
Enables protection switching, which causes high-priority notifications to be sent when
peer MEPs specified for cross-check time out, or when CCMs are received with the
RDI bit set.
The high-priority notifications only apply to MEPs that are offloaded. In the
case of non-offloaded MEPs, enabling protection switching has no effect,
and the command only enables EFD.
Note
protection-switching
Command Default
EFD is disabled.
Command Modes
CFM domain service configuration (config-cfm-dmn-svc)

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task
IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator
for assistance.
EFD can only be enabled for down MEPs within a down MEPs service.
If the
efd
command is issued when any MEP in the service has any of the following error conditions, the MEP
will shut down the interface:
•
The MEP appears cross-connected to another MAID.
•
The MEP is receiving invalid CCMs, such as receiving its own MAC or MEP-ID.
•
All peer MEPs are reporting a state other than UP via the Port Status TLV.
•
A peer MEP is reporting a state other than UP in Interface Status TLV.
