ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
430
configure cfm domain association end-point transmit-
interval
configure cfm domain <domain_name> association <association_name> ports
<port_list> end-point [inward-facing | outward-facing] transmit-interval
<interval>
Description
Allows you to change time interval for an MEP to send out a CCM. Extreme Networks recommends
configuring this value as at least 1 second. The system rounds down the transmit interval to the nearest
1/100th of a second; that is, 1236 is rounded to 1230 ms.
Syntax Description
Default
1000 ms.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to change the time interval between sending out CCMs on a previously configured
inward-facing or outward-facing MEP. If you attempt to change the interval on a port that is either not
an MEP or the incorrectly facing MEP, the system returns a message.
NOTE
Extreme Networks recommends that you use a transmit interval of at least 1 second (1000 ms).
The system also uses this value multiplied by 3.5 as the TTL value sent with the CCMs. The receiving
switch uses this value to determine when the MEP is no longer alive.
Use the
show cfm
command to verify your configuration and the
show cfm detail
command to
display the configured lifetime.
domain_name
Enter the domain associated with the MA you are configuring.
association_name
Enter the name of the MA for which you are changing the time interval an
MEP sends out CCM.
ports
Enter the port number of the MEP on which you are changing the time interval
it sends out a CCM.
inward-facing
Enter this variable if you are changing the time interval for sending a CCM on
an inward-facing MEP.
outward-facing
Enter this variable if you are changing the time interval for sending a CCM on
an outward-facing MEP.
interval
Enter the new value (in ms) you want for the transmit interval that the MEP
uses to send CCMs.
