Configuring Continuity-Check Protocol AIS Parameters
To configure the AIS attributes for all MEPs that belong to a specific MA or service, perform this task
in privileged mode:
This example shows how to enable AIS generation for level 0 and VLAN ID 1000:
Console> (enable)
set ethernet-cfm continuity-check level
0 vlan 1000 ais enable
CC Attributes set for level(s) 0.
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to disable AIS generation for level 0 and VLAN ID 1000:
Console> (enable)
set ethernet-cfm continuity-check level
0 vlan 1000 ais disable
CC Attributes set for level(s) 0.
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to enable alarm suppression for level 0 and VLAN ID 1000:
Console> (enable)
set ethernet-cfm continuity-check level 0 vlan 1000 ais alarm-suppress
enable
CC Attributes set for level(s) 0.
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to configure the AIS level for the MEPs:
Console> (enable)
set ethernet-cfm continuity-check level 5 vlan 5 ais level 6
CC Attributes set for vlan(s) 5 on level 5.
Console> (enable)
Configuring the Metro Ethernet CFM Alarm Indication Signal Transmission Level
